## Lords Larder – Chard Charity Commission 1174334
## Annual report for 2024
The Lords Larder – Chard was made a charity in 2017 and we have seven Trustees who meet quarterly.
Looking back over the year 2024 we recognise that our charity is very much in demand in our area with our clients increasing from 937 in 2023 (our previous highest demand) to 981 in 2024 an increase of almost 5%. Foodstuff & other Items given to the 981 clients amounted to 60,000. We are so grateful to our volunteers and supporters who have enabled us to meet this high demand.
We benefitted from the “Fareshare Tesco promotion which was somewhat down on the previous year with just 2000 items donated compared to 2893 items in 2023. This reduction in donations is being experienced in both practical and financial donations as we all face up to higher living costs.
We again organised a Christmas toy and voucher collection for families referred to us by schools and support agencies which was well received.
Breakfast bags were started in the year for school families while on holiday and missing out on school provided breakfasts, the bags are very popular.
Financially our charity is experiencing lowered income but higher expense which reduced our capital by £8,000 in the year, obviously we are aware and considering what we can do to mitigate the losses. We have a Great God and we believe that He knows our need long before we do and has a plan for the ongoing work of our charity.
