## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year to 31 March 2023 Objects and activities of the charity**
## _**The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.**_
The object of the CIO, as described in our constitution, is the relief of poverty of residents in the Borough of High Peak and neighbouring areas through actions including, but not limited to, the provision of food parcels and information about other relevant services.
We keep our aims, objectives and activities under constant review through monthly Trustee meetings. This report looks at what we have achieved over the past 12 months. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when setting our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities.
In the continued difficult and challenging circumstances, we have regularly assessed our approach and methods of operation. This to ensure we continue to fulfil our objectives, whilst safeguarding our volunteers.

## **Glossopdale Foodbank**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2023**
## _**Review of the work carried out by the Charity during the year**_
We aim to meet the needs of those who live in the Glossopdale area who are experiencing food poverty, respecting their dignity and giving them opportunities to solve their financial difficulties for the longer term. The home delivery service was reviewed and maintained throughout the year. It was extended to include anyone unable to collect parcels in person, although there were some concerns as to its long term future There have been changes to distribution points and their opening times We have adapted our approach accordingly, to ensure all requests for food parcels were met.
## **Provision of Food to People in Crisis**
The demand for emergency food in Glossopdale during 2022-23 was slightly higher than the previous year, which itself was the highest recorded. During the calendar year 2022, Glossopdale Foodbank received 2,340 requests for emergency food parcels (an increase on the previous year of 100) which provided 52,578 meals (an increase of 4,734). Food was provided for 3,745 adults and 2,097 to children under 16.
Partnerships with Children’s services and Citizen’s Advice have continued. Job Centre Plus signposts to the Foodbank for people in need. Recognising the importance of pets to their owners, the RSPCA developed a new partnership to help provide dog and cat food for foodbank recipients. Derbyshire County Council provided essential cleaning and dental care products to the foodbank for the recipients.
We worked closely with The Bureau in Glossop, P3 homeless charity, Hummingbirds Adult Services, Mental Health Trusts and many other support agencies
Local schools, churches and businesses continue to support the Foodbank, consistently providing food and financial donations. We are also partnered by Fareshare who allow us to use their space at Tesco Glossop for the food collection and allow us to retain all the food collected there.
In addition, the Foodbank continues to liaise closely with G52’s in Gamesley, Whitfield Foodclub and Hadfield Coming Together. Foodbank recipients are signposted to these projects and the Foodbank pays the weekly subscription to the Whitfield and Hadfield projects for those clients unable to afford it, to enable them to access fresh food.
Food parcels are provided via four distribution centres and a delivery service provides for those unable to leave their homes. A voucher scheme is provided for people who have no cooking facilities (typically people in bed and breakfast accommodation or homeless) to enable them to shop for hot food at Greggs and at Aldi, for food that does not require cooking.
The Foodbank has no regular grant aid, although it received a NAVCA cost of living grant of £1,000. It exists almost entirely on the donations of finance and food from the local community, whose support continues to be remarkable..There have been many various donations and fund raising events from local businesses, social organisations, churches and schools during 2022/23. It is difficult to name all, and unfair to highlight any in particular. However, the level of support has and continues to be,outstanding.
In addition, the response from local individuals has been remarkable.Generous donations, ranging in amounts from £5 to over £1,000 per donation, have been received from many members of the Glossopdale Community.There were concerns that the level of giving would tail off as a consequence of the post Covid era, and with increases to the cost of living. However, these fears did not materialize, and donations increased by some £15k. This enabled the provision to expand its support to other community food initiatives, and expand its voucher scheme. At the same time, facilitating a small surplus.
We are also extremely grateful to Derbyshire County Council who continue to provide rent-free premises for us to store and pack food.
Food collection points are in position in Tesco’s Glossop, Marks and Spencer Glossop, Glossop Wholefoods, Bradbury House, Whitfield House, Simmondley Co-op, National Westminster Bank (although subsequently closed) Hadfield Library and Glossop Leisure Centre. Our collection basket in Tesco is now emptied five times a week.
Overall, our public profile has been raised in several ways - regular press bulletins, via Facebook and Glossopdale Foodbank Website.The support from the Glossopdale community has been and continues to be, outstanding.

Foodbank Plus; Helping to Move People On
Glossopdale Foodbank is now into its sixth year of partnership with Citizens Advice through our joint project, Foodbank Plus. This year it continues using the Foodbank’s own financial resources. A substantial number of food bank recipients consented to being contacted by the link Citizen’s Advice Advisor.
This joint partnership was able to considerably help a significant number of Foodbank clients with mainly benefit and debt issues. The project helped recover and maximise income for these clients as well as successfully apply for grants for replacement household items. This is a significant indicator of the worth of the partnership.
Low income remains the chief reason behind applications to the Foodbank, together with timing difficulties before Universal Credit is applied. For 2022/23 the increase in the cost of living has also been a major factor. We have ongoing, strong links with The Bureau in Glossop, and High Peak Borough agencies
The Foodbank has 3 committees and sub-groups :
The Trustees Committee has overall responsibility for all foodbank matters. It meets monthly. This main committee is supplemented by an Events Committee, which plans and runs promotional and fund-raising events, and a Development Group, which considers and proposes options for the development of the service.
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing its activities.

## _**Planning for the future**_
We aim to continue the work of the charity, whilst not losing sight of its value as a local service. Numbers of applicants, sadly, continued to increased due to the financial climate. Forward planning has placed the Foodbank in a good position to respond. The committee was also mindful of the increase in demand for parcels caused by people with financial difficulties. Throughout the year, donations continued at substantial levels, from businesses, local organisations and individuals. This meant we were able to satisfy every request for food parcels. A flexible approach enabled the Foodbank to continue to undertake home deliveries to those isolating or unable to collect parcels.
## _**The contribution of volunteers during the period.**_
Our service is provided by a team of some 63 volunteers who are local residents. A Coordinator has been employed for several years to marshal the activities of the volunteers. Due to increased workload, an assistant was recruited part time, towards the end of the year. The regular, committed support from our expanded team of volunteers has ensured that food collections, sorting and distribution have continued seamlessly, as we have adapted to the circumstances brought about by the changing economic environment. Close monitoring of donations and expenditure and a flexible strategy have ensured our continuing sustainability.
## _**Fundraising activities during the period.**_
The continued scale of giving has enabled the foodbank to extend its range of operation. At Christmas we were able to improve the quality and range of food items, and supplement this with items such as toiletries and family games. This development was unexpected for recipients, and warmly received. Once again, we hired a steel container to store the additional items.
We have promoted our work via the website and with several features in the local paper. We also prepared leaflets which highlighted the range of circumstances in which food parcels could be requested. We were able to support a tombola at the Old Glossop Christmas Market again this year.
We can now see a sustainable future for a number of years ahead. This notwithstanding the special heavy financial demands and implications from cost of living increases, and potential reductions in the level of donations.

## _**Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2023**_
The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory.
## _**Policies on reserves.**_
The following policy was approved by Trustees, 9th November 2020
Foodbank income relies exclusively on donations from the local community. If income did fall it would not be equivalent to the removal of a significant sum of grant aid but much more a decline over a period of time as donations decreased and expenditure remained stable or increased. Quite quickly though, expenditure could outstrip income. Over a two to three-year period the Foodbank would quickly become unviable.
Given the unlikelihood of any finance from either DCC or HPBC, this loss of income would take time to replace. Following the end of the Big Lottery funding it took two years for the Foodbank to achieve sustainability on an annual expenditure of £22,000. It would therefore be prudent for reserves to reflect a three-year deterioration in donations with the same period required to regenerate the necessary income. The Foodbank should therefore anticipate an increase in expenditure over income and set itself a target of a reserve fund to mitigate this.
An _average_ loss of £20,000 - £25,000 for each of the years of income-decline would not be difficult to anticipate. The Foodbank should therefore set itself the target of covering that extent of decline and seek to have a reserve of £70,000.
Review of this Policy - this policy should be reviewed, and amended in light of changing circumstances, every twelve months.
The policy was reviewed in the year against the background of continued uncertainty and bearing in mind the charity’s financial position. It was confirmed as appropriate. However, the Management Committee remained mindful that it does not wish to build up increased, substantial reserves. Therefore, it continues to look at ways to extend the food provision. In the year to March 2023, the foodbank supported other local food-based initiatives such as Whitfield Foodclub, and Hadfield Coming Together (formerly Bellies not Bins).

**Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2023**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after 1[st] January 2019), (The SORP).
In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-
- to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
- recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 10 to 23 for the period ended 31 March 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after 1[st] January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 15.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report**
As described on page 8, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
- a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
- b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the Act.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken**
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. 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 setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

## **Glossopdale Foodbank**
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion**
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
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;
have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to accounting periods commencing after 1[st] January 2019), (The SORP).
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 financial statements to be reached.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## _**Policies relating to the production of the accounts.**_
## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention**
The accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
## _**Risks and future assumptions**_
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. In the opinion of the trustees there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity’s ability to continue in the foreseeable future. The charity is a public benefit entity.
## _**Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.**_
## **Categories of Income**
All income of donations, subscriptions, grants or gift aid refunds are recognised when received by the Charity.
All income is accounted for gross before deduction of related fees or costs, except where deducted at source
## _**Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.**_
## **Recognition of liabilities and expenditure**
All revenue expenditure is recognised when paid. Accruals are made of any known liabilities.
## **Donated Goods**
Food is donated by the public is held in stock awaiting distribution to beneficiaries. The amount estimated for the year to 31[st] March 2023 was £41,780 (£45,170 prior year) and this has been accounted as income (note 17) and the benefit to the beneficiaries is accounted for as food expenditure (note 20) The reduction in comparison with 2021/22 was due to a tailing off in donations in the last quarter of 2021/22, in turn caused by
cost of living concerns and a temporary relocation of food baskets in Tesco.
This estimation is made on the supermarket value of standard food parcels. The Foodbank buys additional items to meet any shortfall in donations towards the parcels. During the year, extra items were added to the standard food parcel a) on a general basis (such as toilet paper) and b) according to circumstance (such as toiletries and special dietary needs) At Christmas additional parcels were provided including small gifts. Many of these items were donated by the public. The Foodbank estimates the value of these specific donations offsets any shortfall in the standard parcel.
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
## **2. Liability to taxation**
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity**
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
