REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Chair's Report
Five years ago, UKHarvest was founded for a simple purpose: to protect the environment by rescuing good food destined for landfill and to feed those in food poverty, provide food for the old and young alike in desperate need of the nutrition. We have remained true to our mission and continue to focus on the climate change agenda.
Over the past five years we have evolved into a National organisation, an organisation known for its collaboration, partnership work and excellent education programmes. By using food as a medium we have been able to bring isolated and lonely people together, nourishing their minds, bodies and souls. Today, UKHarvest delivers a broad range of education and support programmes, whilst our environmental offer is still as relevant today as it was in 2017.
To rise to the challenge of doing what we do in an ever changing world, and during the post Covid-19 period, whilst our economy was in an economic crisis UKHarvest has been through another year of extraordinary change . Extending our premises, to accommodate the growth in demand for our services: transforming our premises to deliver bespoke educational training kitchens and restaurant facilities to meet the diverse needs of the communities we support, while making sure we continue to deliver meals to the charities we support. We know that we must continue to develop and innovate our programmes to meet the diverse needs of our clients and in collaboration with our partners we will achieve sustainable change. The launch of our Nourish Hub in London in February 2022 by the then Duchess of Cornwall saw a landmark change in our operations as we opened a donate as you dine restaurant feeding local people in need, whilst providing signposting services to support our most vulnerable community members.
This year, the amazing work of the 48 strong team has raised funds, initiated 100,000's education and awareness interventions and delivered millions of meals to those most in need.
I am very proud of the commitment of staff and the dedication of trustees to ensure we protect the environment and support those most in need. Our CEO has continued to cover both operational and strategic roles, in the absence of a COO and stepped up to the challenge admirably. We have developed a senior leadership team in February 2023, to ensure the future security and growth of service delivery. The pace of growth in demand for our services continues to accelerate. By rising to the challenge and securing the necessary funding to deliver our services, we have been able to be there to provide support especially when it is most in need. We acknowledge that there is still more to do, but we have laid strong foundations on which to continue expanding our services throughout the UK and to continue improving the services we offer.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
CEO Report
The Covid 19 global pandemic has had a huge impact on the health and wellbeing of people throughout the world. This financial year we have been coping with the economic crisis and expanding and tailoring our services to reach those most in need. Our national charity met the needs of our communities and has seen a surge in the growth of our Community Food Hubs (CFHs): supporting families most in need by tailoring our programmes to provide food whilst teaching families how to cook well for less. We have also been able to increase our sign posting to enable us to support those most in need of nutrition and mental health support during this time. We deliver regular Community Food Hubs at 16 locations which work with up to 100 families at each. We delivered school holiday hunger support to 1000's of children and young people. We grew our digital presence and offered education programmes online to reach more people. We also partnered with Cadent and UK Power Networks to deliver our food and fuel programme teaching children and their families to cook well whilst using the minimum energy possible. By supporting 100,000's people each week we have made a positive difference to their lives. A difference which is sustainable.
As the only free food rescue organisation operating along the south coast with a presence in Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and London . Using research data, UKHarvest believe that when people are alleviated from food poverty they are simultaneously alleviated from social isolation to a place where they are empowered to live a fuller, healthier life. UKHarvest is here to facilitate this transition with our NourishEd (Education Programme), surplus suppers (NourishEd Community), "donate as you dine" restaurant and community food waste awareness events.
Our incredible London Nourish Hub launched in 2022, has won five national awards: New London Awards Mayor's Prize & Community Prize, RIBAJ MacEwen Award Overall Winner, UK Planning Awards Community Led Place Making Award, Pineapples Re-store: Award. In our Hub we have supported those suffering from food insecurity but also supported those experiencing social isolation and loneliness. We educate, feed and support 1000's of Londoners in need every week, whilst delivering awareness events and supporting over 40 local partner organisations.
UKHarvest's positive impacts are only made possible because of the generous support of donors who believe in our work. Our core funder Goodman have made our hugely successful journey possible. The dedication of these donors and hundreds more like them are intrinsic to our work. We are hugely grateful for this support.
2023/24 will see the expansion of our Community Food Hubs (CFHs), increase in office accommodation with the prospect of launching another Nourish Hub on the South Coast. Our partnership education programmes will also continue to grow. We are also collaborating with other organisations Nationally, to enable them to use the UKHarvest model to ensure more good food doesn't go to waste.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the charity are the prevention or relief of poverty in the United Kingdom for the public benefit through the provision of food and the relief of hunger in particular by:
-
a) transporting and directly providing food from institutions with excess food to other charitable organisations and agencies whose mission is to provide food to those in need in the united kingdom;
-
b) advancing the education of the public with regard to food security for those in poverty in the united kingdom, including educating the public about preparing nutritious and healthy meals and cooking on a budget; and
-
c) by such other means as the trustees may determine.
The trustees normally meet four times a year to agree funding priorities, charitable activities, strategy and policy. Our inhouse accounting system is supported by our accounting team and Gibson Whitter handle the external auditing process for UKHarvest. We administer our own financial affairs for the charity on a day-to-day basis. The Charity is supported by an active network of over 200 active volunteers and, since the year end, we are now operating with a core team of 35 staff supported by additional sessional contractors.
UKHarvest is a for impact environmental charity, established in 2017 by our CEO, Yvonne Thomson. We focus on using rescued food as a medium to educate all in the prevention of food waste and on how to cook using fresh nutritious food. UKHarvest has established itself within the UK's saturated food rescue market from having one van and a garage to a fleet of eight vans, a 520 m2 warehouse, three offices, a purpose built training and commercial kitchen, and a purpose designed Nourish Hub, with a commercial kitchen, training kitchen, large multi-use space and office space, within 5 years. We support charities who in turn feed 350,000 people each week and can rescue and redistribute up to 25 tonnes of food in a day . We have collected from over 200 outlets and delivered to 362 charities. We redistribute to our bespoke CFHs and use our food to deliver education sessions and our holiday hunger initiatives which help vulnerable groups including families of school children. We have a waiting list of 40 charities requesting support. We have empowered over 50,000 people to improve their nutrition and quality of lives, though our bespoke education interventions.
Our core offer is intrinsically a method to help "protect the environment" through the prevention of food waste by collecting surplus food across the supply chain spectrum and redistributing it free of charge to local charities. Currently we rescue 80% perishable food. We collect food with a fleet of eight vans operating throughout Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and London.
Our second offer is an education (NourishEd Education) and up-skilling programme by using rescued food to provide quick and easy nutritious meals, using as much left-over food as possible to also help avoid household waste. 40% of all household waste in West Sussex is edible food. This equates to 40,195 tonnes of edible food going to landfill per annum. From the social nature of sharing food to the delivery of formal training opportunities, using local training kitchens, the NourishEd (Education) Programme will build the capacity of the local community, in a fun way. The principles of community engagement, inclusion, community empowerment and community ownership are the core principles to NourishEd (Education Programme). The approach is asset-based and we aim to provide a democratic space for all of our activities. We facilitate people coming together to achieve positive change by enhancing their own knowledge, skills and experience around nutrition. The result is long-lasting behavioural change and personal empowerment. We work in collaboration and partnership with other charities to deliver this change programme including The Apuldram Centre, Aspire, Church community groups, Sanctuary in Chichester, The Chichester Centre, Turning Tides, Young Carers and many other organisations.
Our third offer focuses on combatting social isolation and loneliness. This programme invites vulnerable people; especially those living alone or in isolation, to supper clubs to encourage social involvement in the community, while learning to make delicious soups and receiving a premium three-course meal using entirely rescued food. Local young people from places such as SPRING as well as volunteers support the programme, under the supervision of a trained cook. This year we grew our Community Food Hubs (CFHs), to help people on their journey from dependency on food banks to a resilient place by providing support services alongside their weekly shop. We currently deliver regular CFHs at 16 different locations across West Sussex. Through this we bring together up to 800 families per week in turn feeding up to 2,640 individuals each week. Wrap around support services include Arun & Chichester Citizens Advice, West Sussex Mind, Supporting You and housing associations.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
We work around the South East focusing in the most deprived areas, where people are food insecure. We are the only food rescue charity in the area which does not charge the charities for the delivery of food. We support their business models by delivering free of charge, ensuring that their funding is spent on delivering services and not on food.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year and that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act. The trustees are satisfied that all charitable activities during the year are for the benefit of the public and the benefits of each and every activity are clearly identifiable.
-
1) We are on a mission to eliminate hunger and food waste through education and the redistribution of quality surplus food.
-
2) Likewise, to provide a framework for food rescue that can be replicated.
-
3) Raising public awareness through campaigns, information materials, media and events.
-
4) Raising awareness with influencers including government and others.
-
5) Campaigns and policy initiatives.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
To keep us true to our roots, we want to be out in the community as much as we can, educating and supporting those most in need of nutrition and looking after the environment. This year we continued to address the huge demand for our services and again grew and adapted our education and events teams to do just that. We have enhanced our online digital platforms to ensure we could still reach those who wanted to take advantage of our services.
We are currently providing the equivalent of over 41,000 meals per week to vulnerable people in the community, rescuing food from over 200 food donors. We have delivered quality surplus produce to over 362 recipient charities and have rescued 1000's of tonnes of food from going to landfill. There is a demonstrable demand to expand our services from both donors of food, and the vulnerable people we feed. This demand continues to grow. This financial year we have grown to meet demand for our services and expanded our donor base and have developed the way in which we work with existing organisations such as City Harvest.
Our growth has continued over the last year, and we have predicted that this trend will continue as more and more organisations become aware of the services we provide and people continue to be food insecure as the cost of living crisis begins to bite those on low incomes. 2020 was the year that school holiday hunger rocketed to the top of the political agenda, with all major parties pledging to end it. UKHarvest continues to be part of this journey, providing and supporting school holiday hunger clubs and working alongside all partners including West Sussex County Council and Hammersmith and Fulham Council to end food insecurity, prevent food waste, protect the environment and ultimately put an end to hunger.
We are the Superheroes for Surplus Food
UKHarvest collects quality surplus food from a variety of retailers and producers and delivers it, direct and free of charge, to incredible charities that can make use of it to support those in need. We provide much needed assistance to vulnerable men, women and children across the UK.
We rescue food from all types of food provider
Providers include fruit and vegetable markets, supermarkets, hotels, wholesalers, farmers, stadiums, corporate events, catering companies, shopping centres, delis, cafes, restaurants, film and TV shoots and boardrooms.
Delivering fresh, nourishing food for free to charitable organisations
These charitable and welfare agencies include homeless shelters, women's and men's refuges, youth groups and organisations that service people with alcohol or drug addictions, mental health issues, people with disabilities and the elderly.
Where we work
Our eight refrigerated vans currently make food collections and deliveries in and around Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and London .
We are keen to support as many charities as possible to ensure the vulnerable have access to highly nutritious food.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
OUR INCREDIBLE FAMILY OF SUPPORTERS AND DONORS
We adore and value the contribution of all of our food donors, financial donors and amazing supporters. On behalf of the entire team at UKHarvest and the people we support - THANK YOU for supporting us to Nourish Our Nation through food rescue, education, engagement and innovation.
With thanks for funding from donors including:
Aviva Community Fund, Biffa, Bognor Regis Town Council, Brian Linden, Brighton and Hove City Council, Charles Lewington, Chichester City Council, Clarion Futures, Cubbit and West, Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, Ferry Farm, Garfield Weston Foundation, Goodman Foundation, Hyde Housing, Lendlease, Morrisons Foundation, Southall Trust, Sussex Community Foundation, Tennyson/Zurich Insurance, Tesco Community Grants, The Alex & William de Winton Trust, UK Power Networks and Cadent Gas, WSCC, WSCC Recycles.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year ending 31 March 2023 the charity received income totalling £1,295,780 (2022: £1,217,515). The day-to-day management of receipts and payments is handled by the charity's finance team, with regular oversight from Trustees at meetings.
Total expenditure for the year, including fundraising, operational and charitable expenditure, was £1,216,959 (2022: £986,280). Net income for the year was £78,821 (2022: £231,235). At the end of the financial year free reserves were £747,155 (2022: £553,934). Free reserves represent total unrestricted reserves less net book value of unrestricted fixed assets. This equates to approximately 6 months of charitable expenditure.
We received significant contributions, in the form of food donations which are not recognised in the financial statements as disclosed in note 2. Thanks are due to all UKHarvest's supporters in 2022/23.
Reserves policy
The policy of the trustees is to hold free reserves of 6 months running costs to ensure continuity of UKHarvest's operations if there was a significant disruption to income. Reserves are also being built up to support current operational projects as they become self-sustaining, namely the Community Food Hubs and the growth in the logistics vehicle fleet, without which the operations of UKHarvest could not happen. The actual unrestricted and free reserves held at 31 March 2023 were £747,155 which represents 6 months running costs. This is calculated as total unrestricted reserves (£922,456) less fixed assets (£175,301). This policy is reviewed annually.
Going concern
The trustees have prepared an income and expenditure budget and cashflow forecast and have concluded that the charity continues to be a going concern for the foreseeable future. On that basis they have continued to adopt the going concern basis when preparing the financial statements.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
2023/24 will see the strengthening of our collaborations with Hammersmith and Fulham Council (H&F Council) and The Mayor of London. In this partnership venture launched by the then Duchess of Cornwall in February 2022, we will see the Nourish Hub in West London grow in capacity to support those most in need at our community lunches, currently feeding 200 people each day. This is enabled by the support of H&F Council and the backing of the local community. This project will grow to feed 1,250 hungry people each week, tackle food waste in the borough and education 1000's on how to nourish their minds, bodies and souls. This venue is funded through a mixed portfolio of funding, supported by the commitment of the Leader of H&F council. We are also delivering a large scale Food and Fuel programme in collaboration with Cadent and UK Power Networks, educating 50 ,000 people on how to cook well for less, using less fuel and using highly nutritious recipes. We will strengthen our current joint ventures with organisations in the food waste space and will begin plans to deliver a social enterprise in the South Coast area. We will continue to add value to a variety of organisations in London. These joint ventures will see the delivery of a broad variety of educational opportunities aimed at empowering everyone from care leavers, single parents, those within schools, refugees to isolated older people.
Our Community Food Hubs and the event collaborations with local food banks will continue to increase to meet the ever growing demand. We will continue to run joint fundraisers with other local charities to add value to the mission of both organisations.
We will formalise collaborations with Hampshire County Council, West Sussex County Council, the Xcess food network, local food banks, the Aldingbourne Trust and Housing Associations amongst others. These partnerships will deliver much needed services to the communities that they support and add value to the missions of the partnership organisations.
Our post Covid 19 recovery plan will see us continue to have a strong online presence, with education programmes being delivered through this medium, as well as face to face sessions. The increased demand on our services due to this ever changing situation will mean we have to be as agile as we can to respond to this demand and support as many people in our communities as we can.
UKHarvest will deliver at least 2 million meals in 2023. We will have positive interventions to meet the high demand for our services.
We are so excited by the opportunities that this year will bring, and we cannot wait to get started.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of UKHarvest Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Gibson Whitter Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 7 December 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF UKHARVEST LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of UKHarvest Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 11
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF UKHARVEST LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and sector, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to breaches of employment law, data protection and anti-bribery and corruption legislation, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Charities acts, Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to overstate profit and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Discussions with management and Trustee Directors, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
-
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations;
-
As required by ISA 240, incorporating an element of unpredictability into our audit testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
Voluntary income including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, receipt is probably and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when:
-
the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific conditions is recognised as earned (as the related goods and services are provided). Grant income included in this category provides funding to support activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Volunteers and donated services
The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements.
Where goods or services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods or services are supplied.
-
Fundraising costs are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.
-
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with providing services to the charity's beneficiaries and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to those activities.
-
Support costs include central functions and governance costs. These have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Website development is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 8 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on cost

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

The charity receives food and produce from retailers and local businesses. This value of produce is not included in the financial statements as it is received by the charity when it is no longer in a saleable, or useable condition and therefore has no value to the donor.
The charity uses premises in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham for its Nourish Hub. The premises has been provided rent free by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham Council. No value has been included in the financial statements for these premises due to the location and size of the premises which has historically meant that they were difficult to let commercially.
