Emergency food packages are provided to people for vouchers or letters from the agency supporting them, such as citizens advice, support workers, job centre, social services and churches. Euston Foodbank has grown very rapidly since lockdown in 2020 in response to increasing need in the community as you can see in the statistics which follow. We need now to consolidate our procedures and infrastructure. U to six Trustees nominated from the foundin churches are: Deacon Tessa Bennett, Kings Cross Methodists from August 2021 Chair.. Dorothea Hackman, St Pancras Parish Church from 2017, coopted 2024 Revd Jonathan Lee, St Pancras Parish Church from September 2024 Treasurer: Canon Jeremy Trood, St Aloysius RC Church from 2017 Other nominating churches: Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, United Reform Church, St Pancras Old Church. to six elected trustees from amon st the volunteers (3 year term): Julia Sahin & Aude Firmin elected 2023 two year term ends 2025 Victoria Bombas & Patrick Brough elected 2023 three year tem ends 2026 Chris Powell & Natan Bram elected 2024 term ends 2027 Full-time Em ees Manager,.

We will put a Record of ProSSIng Activity in place. Bank accounts: The Foodbank has two connected bank accounts, one current and the other for savings with higher interest in which we keep at least £72K as a six month reserve to cover salaries, operating costs and redundancy payments should these be necessary. We require two signatures for expenditure. Policies for Financial Controls and for Reserves will be produced. £47,938 was transferred from the Savings to the Current account during 202412025. MembershiD of the foodbank is the current distribution session volunteers who have completed an application form with two referees. The list is compiled from the social media groups in which their availability is indicated on a weekly basis, Volunteers can therefore be notified of meeting, but we will produce a procedure paper to put membership on a clear basis in future. Mana ement meetin s on the last Monday of the month were begun in July 2025 to support the Manager, We continue to share our premises with Food for All U.K. Current decisions to put before the General Meetings are: a) Only foodbank related meetings to be held on the premises, no community meetings b) Only foodbank items to be stored in foodbank areas, from 2026 c) Books to be cleared from the west classroom d) No further development of back garden except with Maria Fidelis School. Euston Foodbank (EFB) supports a rolling number of over 400 households a week equating to a thousand people week, 60,000 pa[lS a year. We still distribute the majority of food parcels in Carnden Borough and are the largest Trussell Trust foodbank in London, the third largest in the UK. The ongoing reduction in donations continued to be noticeable and concerning during the summer months - there is just not the level of prosperity. This has meant we have relied even more on our three main charities.. Foodbank Aid, City Harvest and Felix. and in addition we rely on corporate donations to buy food. The main reasons 840/0 of people attended the foodbank are financial difficulty and the cost of living. A third of our clients are still homeless people. Whereas before lockdown the average household visited twice, now it is 4 times, as poverty leaves them nowhere else to turn. Two in five Camden children are growing up in povety, despite their parents being in employment. Like many others, we would like to see the need for foodbanks phased out as soon as austerity permits. We have begun to make referrals to Fuelbank for vouchers for gas and electricity for clients struggling to put money on their pre-payment meters.
