MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
As the Chair of FEAST, I am pleased to present our annual accounts for the year ending 31st December 2024.
These accounts show an increase in income of 24% compared to last year which is a remarkable achievement given the tough economic environment, rising costs, and increasing demand for services that all charities have experienced during this time. It is a testament to the resilience, commitment, and belief of everyone connected to our charity and represents not just a financial achievement, but a real vote of confidence in our work and our mission.
We could not have done this without the incredible support of our funders, who have continued to back us when the needs in our community are greater than ever. I also want to offer my heartfelt thanks to our extraordinary volunteers, whose generosity of time and spirit remains the lifeblood of FEAST, and to our dedicated staff team, who bring skill, compassion, and relentless energy to everything they do.
Thanks to your collective efforts, we have been able to reach more people, offer more support, and invest in the future of our services. There is still much to do, but with such a strong foundation and community behind us, we move forward with hope and determination, as we enter our 10 year anniversary in 2025!
With very best wishes,
Helen Burgess Chair of the Board of Trustees

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of FEAST With Us Charity (“the Charity” or “FEAST”) for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (the “Charities SORP”) 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 2015).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
FEAST started in 2015, as a weekly community meal at a hostel for homeless people, using food that would otherwise be thrown away. The Charity, registration number 1172884, is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered in England on 7 May 2017.
In November 2024 the Charity amended its objects to acknowledge the broader reach and impact of our charity in terms of the populations we serve, our areas of focus, and the wider range of our activities to:
The relief of financial hardship and the protection and promotion of nutrition, health and wellbeing for vulnerable individuals in the UK through the provision of nutritious meals (including on a community basis), healthy eating programmes and campaigning for policy change.
The updated charitable objects reflect a more sustainable approach to reducing food insecurity among vulnerable populations in the UK, which is more appropriate in the current economic climate. This will ensure that resources are directed in a focussed and targeted manner to solutions with long-term benefits for our service users. In addition, research into the nutritional status of vulnerable populations is novel and not generally explored or understood within food poverty charities, which means this is a new area of growth and exploration for FEAST With Us.
Appointment of Trustees
The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees which takes all medium- and longer-term strategic decisions. Day to day running of the Charity is overseen by the CEO, who was appointed on 20 March 2023, and prior to this date, it was overseen by the Operations Manager. Together the Trustees are responsible for delivery of the long-term strategy approved by them. The names of the Members of the Board of Trustees are shown on page 4 of this report.
The Treasurer takes the lead on all financial matters, including accounting, banking and management of cash and reserves.
The Charity carries out regular skills assessments of Trustees and identifies any gaps that may exist. Steps are taken to recruit new Trustees to fill skill gaps when appropriate. The Board completed a skills audit in June 2024 which concluded that it had the appropriate balance of skills, experience, backgrounds and knowledge to be an effective Board. Board diversity was noted as being important for driving objective decision making that has the best chance of creating positive change in the communities FEAST exists to serve and, as such, would be taken forward as part of the EDI work being conducted across the organisation in 2025.
All new Trustees receive a copy of the Governing Document, latest Annual Accounts, an induction and are asked to sign a Code of Conduct, which the Board has approved.
Each Trustee is appointed by a resolution at a properly convened Trustee Meeting and will have an initial three-year term of office with the option of renewal for a further term of three years by agreement between the Trustee seeking reappointment and the other Trustees, and a further option of renewal after six consecutive years, by agreement between the Trustee seeking reappointment and the other Trustees. Each Trustee must stand down after they have served for nine consecutive years. They may reapply to join the Board but must have been absent from the Board for a minimum of one year before doing so.
Risk Management
The Board and CEO conduct regular reviews of major risks to which the Charity is exposed and maintain a risk register, which is reviewed monthly. Appropriate policies, systems and procedures are identified to mitigate major risks.

STRATEGY & ACTIVITIES
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
At FEAST we believe that everyone deserves access to healthy food and nutrition support, regardless of circumstances and challenges, and we are very proud to have been able to make an even bigger impact in 2024;
Developed and published our first Theory of Change, a framework that maps out how and why our strategy will achieve its long-term goals. It helps us define our impact, identify assumptions, and track progress through measurable outcomes.
Our operational team grew to 16 people, including new roles in our nutrition, chef and fundraising teams.
- Collected and delivered more surplus food using our new FEAST van funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Completed our first FEAST challenge event, hiking 25km across the beautiful Peak District with a wonderful team of Trustees, staff and supporters, raising £5,085.
Nutritious Community & Delivered Meals
We provided more nutritious meals supporting people experiencing food insecurity, with 16 regular cooking and meal venues, serving a total of 28,710 community and delivered meals, an increase of 6% on 2023. We launched new regular community meals for local residents at Somers Town Community Association and older people at The Finchley Charities sheltered accommodation. Each meal is nutritious, co-designed with service users, aligned with the Eatwell Guide and tailored to meet health needs and dietary preferences.
More than just a meal, we create inclusive and welcoming spaces, that strengthen service users’ emotional and social wellbeing, support mental health, and build community connections, helping individuals feel valued and supported in overcoming challenges.
FEAST meals are made using mostly donated surplus food, supporting sustainability and reducing food waste.
Healthy Eating on a Budget Programme
Developed by FEAST nutritionists and dietitians, this programme empowers people experiencing food insecurity to independently meet their nutritional needs, make informed choices, and improve dietary behaviours on a budget.
After a successful pilot in late 2023, this programme grew significantly over 2024, reaching eight venues across four London boroughs. More than just a cooking course, with nutrition at its heart, it equips participants with the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to prepare balanced, affordable meals, manage portions, and budget effectively for lasting change.
We've partnered with local authorities, community centres, homeless hostels, and supported living settings, delivering a flexible programme that responds and adapts to need, improving nutrition across various types of communities.
Nutrition, Research & Insights
Our unique focus on nutrition science has made a seminal contribution to the evidence base informing food policy related to food insecurity. We aim to improve the dietary outcomes for people experiencing food insecurity through the following objectives:
Improve understanding in nutrition services for people experiencing food insecurity.
Improve sector understanding of the evidence base and good nutritional practice.
Increase policy implementation.
Increase the use of nutrition and food insecurity screening tools.
This work both informs FEAST services and strengthens systems supporting vulnerable populations, promoting sustainable impact.
In partnership with UCL, FEAST conducted novel research (2023–2025) exploring the diet of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) —the first study of its kind, led by Hannah Style (FEAST founder, Trustee, and research dietitian) and Adrian Brown (UCL research fellow).

Nutrition, Research & Insights
The research revealed a high prevalence of malnutrition in PEH linked to food insecurity, poor dietary quality, and mental illness. Many participants highlighted barriers to accessing a dignified, healthy diet.

FUNDRAISING
Through 2024 we saw an increasingly challenging funding environment for the charity sector as a whole. As a result of reduced statutory funding, many Trusts & Foundations experienced significant increases in numbers of applications (3 times in some cases), whilst others closed or reprioritised their funds, reducing likelihood of success. This shift reinforced our strategy to diversify our income streams to reduce risk and increase resilience.
In spite of this context, 2024 was another significant year of income growth for FEAST, up 24% compared to 2023, with a total raised of £434,089. Funding growth propelled FEAST forwards, strengthening our capacity to deliver and expand services, and grow our operations team including expanding our nutrition, chef and fundraising teams.
Most notably, Partnership Services income increased by 59% to £111,852, making up 25.8% of income. Although share of total income from Trusts & Foundations reduced from 2023 to 2024, income continued to grow from new and existing funders increasing by 11% to £175,957, contributing to 40.5% of total income raised.
We increased our Statutory Income by 12% to £94,406, including funding from Camden Council to continue to chair and coordinate the Camden Food Partnership to March 2025, and from the Greater London Authority (GLA), from their Food Roots 2 programme to continue Redbridge Food Partnership development and coordination until May 2025.
Our corporate partnerships income also grew significantly, up 27% on 2023 to £28,629, with 42 businesses donating for 458 of their employees to volunteer with us from a wide portfolio of well-known brands and businesses, as listed below.

Finally, we saw a huge 77% increase in Community & Events Income, from £6,655 in 2023 to £11,809 in 2024. This was achieved predominantly through our first FEAST challenge event where nine FEAST staff, Trustees and supporters hiked 25km across the Peak District, and our World Hunger Day crowdfunding appeal.

PARTNERSHIPS
FEAST’s delivery partnerships developed in 2024 (from £70,134, 20.1% of total income in 2023 to £111,852, 25.8% in 2024). We continued our strong partnership with Single Homeless Project, serving daily nutritious meals in two hostels in Kings Cross, and delivering weekly meals to hostels in Barnet and Islington.
We expanded our long-standing meal partnerships with Sapphire Independent Housing, to deliver healthy eating on a budget programmes to their clients, and established new partnerships with the Finchley Charities for older people, New Horizons Youth Centre for young people experiencing homelessness, and St Giles’ Pantry for people experiencing food insecurity.
We partnered with three universities to host nutrition and dietetics student placements, welcoming 16 students over 18 weeks from King's College London (KCL), London Metropolitan University and University College London (UCL). They supported key projects including: annual evaluations of our meals services; nutritional analysis of our meals; mapping food services against deprivation data; developing healthy eating on a budget course content.
With funding from the British Dietetic Association, FEAST also partnered with UCL to conduct novel research exploring the diet of people experiencing homelessness — the first study of its kind. Led by Hannah Style (FEAST founder, Trustee, and research dietitian) and Adrian Brown (UCL research fellow), the study assessed 200 people experiencing homelessness across 18 London hostels in seven London Boroughs using standardised nutritional tools.

As part of our budgeting process for 2025, we conducted a detailed review of our projects and services, and expenditure, and identified actions to address the deficit through reducing or pausing services not supported by restricted funding, agree grant or contract uplifts with our partners, and reduce any discretionary costs. These will be implemented in 2025 by the CEO. The Treasurer and CEO will continue to work closely to review income and expenditure in detail throughout 2025 and identify further actions as necessary to ensure the charity remains resilient and solvent.

Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
