Trustees' annual report (continued)

The Feed Foundation

Year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

The object of the charity is the prevention or relief of poverty in Norfolk by providing: grants, items and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance

Following two challenging years of repeated lockdowns and uncertainty for both our support work and our trading activities through the CIC, we reopened The Feed in April 2021, by launching our work experience programme, reopening our café on Prince of Wales Road and launching a brand-new project, Nourish. Our Bloom Project followed soon after and we were soon feeling a little bit more like 'business as usual.' Our Community Fridge continued to provide free food to people in need.

In the period between April 2021 and the end of March 2022, we have undergone a significant period of growth in both the Foundation and through our CIC, growing our staff team from 11 to 47 employees and opening 4 new outlets.

In June 2021, after a successful tender process, we were excited for the CIC to take over running The Bistro at Kettle Food Ltd, providing a subsidised service to their employees.

In November, after another successful tender process, we were delighted for the CIC to open The Waterloo Park Pavilion Café and Sandys-Winsch community room.

In December 2021, the CIC opened the student canteen at NUA and in February 2022, also opened REST, the café in Churchman House, in collaboration with Norfolk and Waveney Mind.

Opening new outlets, increased our capacity to support more people, and increased our potential to selfgenerate our own income and generate more profits for the Foundation.

With that in mind, in early 2022 we worked hard to build new relationships with other local support services, to increase the number of referrals onto our projects. Our profile and reputation in Norwich has continued to grow and we have become well respected as a community focused organisation.

We also underwent a full rebranding project, and with the help of a local marketing company, we launched our new look and website in November 2021.

It has been a brilliant and busy year for The Feed and of particular mention is the hard work of our fantastic and dedicated team. They are multi-skilled, committed and extremely focused and we are committed to the development of skills amongst the team and have been able to provide training in areas such as first aid training, Naloxone training and trauma informed training and we have introduced clinical supervision for the support team.

Our many partnerships continue, including Norwich City Council, who continue to support and fund our work, Kettle Foods and Green Farm Coffee and we have developed some new strong relationships with Norfolk and Waveney Mind and local businesses. We are very grateful for their ongoing support.

Trustees' annual report (continued)

The Feed Foundation

Year ended 31 March 2022

Financial review

The financial result is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 6. Income totalled £193,711 (2021: £134,059) and operating expenditure amounted to £151,102 (2021: £67,705). Overall net income was £42,609 (2021: net income of £66,354).

Total funds at 31 March 2022 are £168,583 (2021: £125,974) of which free reserves amount to £101,715 (2021: £106,265). Restricted funds amount to £42,270 (2021: £Nil).

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have established a policy of maintaining reserves to cover three months running costs, emergencies, unexpected events and long term planned commitments. At 31 March 2022 the value of the reserves required amounted to £101,500. The Trustees are of the opinion reserves at this level would be sufficient to ensure the charity is sustainable whilst not carrying excessive funds. Free reserves represent unrestricted net current assets and at 31 March 2022 amounted to £101,715 (2021: £106,265).

Plans for future periods

Our plans for the Foundation for the next 12 months are exciting. In July 2022, we opened Social Supermarket. It will provide affordable and often free groceries, hygiene and cleaning products to people who are struggling with the rising cost of living. We will also be working with other organisations to provide workshops and drop ins, that address the underlying causes of food poverty, such as debt management, budgeting, mental health and wellbeing and employability support.

We have received external funding to provide this new project and hope that we can develop our plans to open more food hubs in Norwich through the work of The Foundation.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Feed Foundation

Year ended 31 March 2022

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Notes to the financial statements

Year ended 31 March 2022

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Ground Floor, 76-80 Prince of Wales Road, Norwich, NR1 1NJ.

2. Statement of compliance

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Income (continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apprortioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Leasehold improvements - Straight line over period of lease Catering equipment - Straight line over three years Office equipment and IT - Straight line over three years Motor vehicles - Straight line over three years

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
