## **Review of activities**
## **Activities**
## Covid-19
Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, most festivals and other large events were cancelled this year and as such the South West Food Collective has been unable to conduct its usual activities this financial year; however, following the acquisition of Bestival by Festival Republic we had fruitful discussions with Festival Republic in advance of the summer 2020 festival season, should it have gone ahead, and hope to be able to reap the benefits of this partnership once it is safe and legal for large events to go ahead again, with luck later in 2021.
## How our activities deliver public benefit
SWFC’s primary activities of collecting and redistributing surplus food directly address its charitable aims of relief of disadvantaged people (whether by economic circumstances or otherwise, depending on the recipient charities) and the protection of the environment through the reduction of food waste, a major contributor to climate change. The trustees consider that these activities therefore provide meaningful benefit to both the recipients of the food and the wider public.
## **Use of volunteers**
This year because of the lack of events, SWFC activities were restricted to work by the trustees to develop partner relationships for future years. The trustees give this time freely.
## **Fundraising**
This year no formal fundraising was conducted because of the pandemic; continuing overheads were covered by in-kind donations.
## **Future plans**
The coming year’s activities and expenses remain very uncertain due to the pandemic; we will look to cover costs firstly through partnership agreements and are not yet able to put in place firmer fundraising arrangements.

## **Financial review**
## **Summary**
The financial statements show no financial activity because of the lack of activity over the pandemic; in addition the charity’s continuing expenses remain low enough that they can largely be covered ad-hoc by trustees. The charity is looking to put in place a charging model with event partners to cover operating expenses in return for the waste and sustainability benefits to the event.
