The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Gharty for the year ended
31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of ReGommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their ac¢ounts in
accordance wth the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
{FRS 102) (effective 1 January 20191.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
At Gloucestershire Bundles we believe that no child should go without the essentials for a happy
childhood. Everything we gift is carefully put together to ensure Ihat families feel like they are
re￿Iving a gffl not a handoLrt.
We collect new and good condition pre-loved donations of clothes, equipment, toys and toiletries
and distribLrte these to pregnant women and families with children up the age of 16.
We work with local professionals {midwifes, social workers, family ￿ntreS etc,) receiving requèsts
from them on behalf of families in need. We aim to reach each request with items generously
donated to us by our local community. Our charity is a valuable resource to professionals
supporting children and families in Glou¢estershire.
Our chafltable objectives are the prevention, or relief of poverty, in the county of Gloucestershire.
The charity aims to facilitate this by the provision of toiletries, clothing, toys, books and equipment
to babies and children, and the parents and carers thereof, together wtth pregnant women, who
are in need. by reason of social andlor economic circumstan￿.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Like many other charities the cost of living crisis has continued to have a significant impact on the
demand for our setvices.
From 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 we responded to requests for help to SUPPOrt 926 families
{865 in the previous year) and 1,706 thildren {1,565 in the previous year). This was an increase on
the previous year of 7% of families and 90A children. Last year we saw an unprecedented 42 % rise
for our services and had hoped this demand may begin to decline, however this was not the case.
During the year we distributed 863 clothes bundles, a similar number of toiletry bundlès, as well as
rnany other items, a significant number of which will have been donated by the local comrnunity. All
iterns are safety checked and cleaned, each bundle is put together with care and attention to
ensure they meet the needs of the family. A brand new mattress is always included wth a cot,
pram or mos8s basket.
The families we are helping are all experiencing poverty. They may be affected by domestic abuse,
insecure housing, physical and mental heath challenges, in debt, or seeking asylum with no access
to public funds. By providing essentials to these families we are providing practical support and
trying to provide a little bit of hope, showing them that someone does care.
On top of our core ServI￿S we ran our Christmas appeal, with its separate referral form, enabling
the professional lo specify Ihe childlyoung person's individual likes and dislikes. 668 children
received a large bag full of new gifts tailored to them. As in previous years we were fortunale to
receive many new items donated by the general publiG both from our Amazon ¥vtsh list and
elsewhere, as well as support from local companies.
We continue to hold regular donation evenls principally for children's Glolhing, bul also accepting
toys and books and ￿rtain equipment, as well as new loilelries. However we are seeing a de¢line
in the quality and number of items donated. We continue to maintain a good relationship with a
local cash for clothes outlet, who will take items not suitable for onward donation to families.
None of the abovè would be possible wlhout our team of dedicated volunteers. We currendy have
around 20 volunteers who carry out a range of vilal roles for us from sorting through donations to
preparing the management accounts, arranging fundraising events. administration and applying for
grants.
During the year we reviewed our trustee base and appointed five new trustees with expertise in
finance, HR, law and IT. We are confident we now have the breadth of expertise to give us the
8UPPOrt we need to continue to meet the demands Pla￿ on the charity.
We decided during the year lo become a Real Living Wage employer to ensure our employees are
paid a wage that meets everyday needs.
During the year we were one of the first baby banks to join the new Baby Bank alliance. This is a
national alliance created to increase the profile and impact of the vital wort undertaken by baby
banks. As well as increasing the profile of baby banks the hope is the alliance will share knowledge
and resources and attract funding.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the year ended 31 March 2024 we received grants and donations of £121,192 (2023..
£144,862). We are extremely grateful for our regular donors, as well as those who support our
different appeals and fundraising activities, especially the Christmas appeal. We also Gontinue to
raise funds via Ebay.
Total expenses have declined slightly this year from £108.832 to £106,353. The main reason for
this is that ¥ve have reducèd the amount we have S￿nt on referral packs relying more on donated
items (down from £58,32110 £45,231 this year), underlying overheads were in faGt up by £10,611,
210/0.
The increase in the number of referrals as well as the overall groWÉh of the charity has meant we
have increased hours for our second part-time member of staff to support the work. We also
became a Real Living Wage employer during the year.
We are very grateful for the grants we have received which have included. National Benevolent
Society, Cotswold Primrose Trust, Tesco, Lottery Foundation on behalf of HMG. Openworf(
Foundation, Westèrn Power Dislribution, Gloucestershire Community Foundation and Skipton
Building Society. We also re￿iVed a significant bequ8St from a supporter in their will.
While our income has increased, much of this is restricted grants given in order to purchase
clothing and equipment we have been unable to source from our donation events. A significant
proportion of the grants are being carried forward into 2024125 which will help maintain our
ongoing stabilty.
FUTURE PLANS
We expect 2024125 to Gontinue to be a busy year for us with demand remaining in line with the
previous year. We are currently reviewing our IT Systems and controls and are in the process of
upgrading these to comply with Cyber essentials certification. We are also looking to implemenl a
new database and are currently looking at the various options.
We shall continue to reach out to different organisations within the county, both for fundraising
events and to make our work known to the wider population. Although we continue to see an
increase in the demand for our seNices, we remain committed to our goal that no child within
Gloucestershire should be without the clothing, 8quipment and toiletries which are essential for a
happy childhood.
