Independent examlner JD Frost ACA J D Frost Accountsnts 7 Links View Cirencester GL7 2NF Bankers Santander FINANCIAL REVIEW We are very gratefijl for the generous SUPPOrt we have recel¥ed which has allowed us to meet the much Increased demand for our serv5ces and contlnue to show a healthy funds pos5tlon at the year end. Our Income for the year was very strong at £458,6W beln8 an Intrease of £129O09139%1 over the prior year. As antlclpated by the Trustees at the beglnnSn8 of the year, expenditu was slmilarSy much hlgher at £371,176 representlng an Increase of £93,366134%1. A feature of the year was the increasin8 necessity to purchase food which accounted for 36% of the totsl brought Into the warehouse. The resultlng net Inflow of £87.504, when added to the funds on hand at the start of the yr of £464,358, produced a funds balance at 31° March 2023 of £551,862. Once agaln our annual Incorne has exceeded £250,1 whlch ne550te5 our adoptlng Accruals accountlng rather than Receipts and Payments accountlng whkh we adopted last year. The comparative flgures for 2021-22 have been restated and a table showln8 the thanges has been Included wlthln the accounts. In order to avoid these changes in accountlng In the fLrture the Trustees wlll con51der preparin8 fvture years accounts uslng the Accruals basis irre5pectlve of the annual Income achleved. Another than8e to the accounts includes valuing donated 8oods, chlefiy food and toiletry Items, and Includlng thls value in Income when It Is received at the warehouse. Similarty 8oods dellvered to dlents are valued when they are dlstrlbLrted and Included in expendtture. All restrlrted funds recehed durlng the year were fully expended by the end of the year forthe purposes specified. ACMIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMAPXE The food bank's objectives are delfvered by collectlng food donatlorbs from many dlfferent places IncludlnB superniarkets, churches, workplaces and schools and through speclal seasonal collections at hajvest and Christmas. These donations a sorted and stored at the food banvs warehouse In Brlmscombe. We deliver food to cllents both dlrectly from the warehouse and from kxal drop-ln centres across the whole of the Stroud distritt. The drop4n ntre5 sometimes provlde a valuable opportunlty to work alongside other agencies offering additional complementsry service5 to Its clients. Clients are referred to the fimxl bank by one of about 90 agendes. mostty care professlonals such as doctors, health vlsitors, social workers and pollce who identify people In food cr15is and issue them wlth food bank voucher. Special food bags are also delivered to dients at Christmas and to cover school holidays. Page 2
The total number of food parce15 delivered dLTrring the year was 8.663. Thi5 was a very large increase of 3,781177%) over the 2021122 figure of 4,882. whith was affected by the Covid pandemic, but It was also a 65% increase over the 2020121 figure. We are grateful to our small staff team and large body of volunteers who made this possible. PLANS FOR FLrruRE PERIODS The Trustees a very mindhjl of the continuin8 economlc pressure5 on our bocal community and Intend to use our resources to meet their needs where we can appropriatety address them. With this In mlnd the Trustees wlll hold a strategy day In September 2023 to consider future developments of OUT seThlces.

P3 are able to help cllents wSth a wlder range of support and complement the CA work to provlde a hollstlc approath wh5ch Is grounded In the community. By beln8 able to offer the above 5ervlces to our dlents we alm to help them become self-sufflclent and thereby reduce thelr continulng need for our food parcels. We have prepared a budget forthe current year whlth shows we are Ilkety to dlmlnlsh our cash resources partty as a result of fundlng the CA and P3 5peclallsts but also from the need to 5ncreaslngly purchase food to meet the very high level of client f¢)o(J reqLbests.

Respective responsibilities of trnslees aDd eiaminer The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparntion of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (thc 2011 Act) and that an independent examination ib needed. It is my responsibility to-. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act: to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions giiven by the Charity Commission under section 145(5Xb) of the 2011 Act. and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do noi providc all the evidence thal would be required in an audit and consequcntly no opinion is given as to whether the accounls pres¢nt a 'tru¢ and fair vicw, and the report is limi*d to those malters sel Out in the statement bclow. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examinatio no matter has come to my attention: ( l ) which biives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare accounls which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met. or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to k reached.
