Newbury Soup Kitchen

Trustees' Report (continued)

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The objects of Newbury Soup Kitchen are the relief of poverty of vunerable and homeless people in the Newbury and surrounding area by the provision of a day centre, outreach and other services.

Public benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the Charity's aims and objectives and overall activities in serving the local community are compliant and conform with statutory requirements.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

Demand for our services has remained consistently high. We continue to provide vital support to people in our community who need it most, and the team has worked incredibly hard to maintain that support, occasionally dealing with some challenging situations.

Alongside the core food sessions, we have continued to develop our outreach work and strengthen relationships with local agencies and partners.

Our Thursday sessions at the Salvation Army have presented a number of logistical challenges over the years and more so recently with changes to their layout and operations, this has not always worked as well as we would have liked. This will now be resolved with a forthcoming move to St Joseph’s hall, which should provide a more suitable space for our needs until our own premises are confirmed and available. We are just awaiting the license to occupy to come through to finalise this move.

On that note, we have met on numerous occasions during the year with West Berks Council, Greenham Trust and their architects to plan and design a building that will be properly fit for our purpose. This project is currently moving through the various planning processes, so there is not much to report just yet until those run their course. Hopefully we will have some positive news to share over the coming months.

I would also like to note the great loss felt not only by us but by many local charities following the passing of Chris Boulton, CEO of Greenham Trust. His support of NSK over the years was greatly valued.

We should also be pleased with the progress made in strengthening the organisation itself. Over the past year we have introduced clearer supervision arrangements for staff, improved safeguarding processes, and adopted new policies to support both staff and volunteers.

We are also currently updating staff contracts, which will help clarify structures as well as arrangements such as TOIL. While these improvements may not always be visible externally, we know they are essential in ensuring the charity remains well run and sustainable for the future. They also represent many hours of work by trustees, and we are very grateful to you all for the time you have given to this.

Trustees' Report (continued)

Financial review

Financially, the charity remains in a strong and stable position thanks to the continued generosity of our donors, fundraisers and grant providers, including the Lloyds Bank Foundation. Over the past year we have also strengthened our financial systems with Natasha joining as our bookkeeper. This will significantly improve our reporting and financial oversight while gradually relieving Meryl of many of the accounting tasks she has previously managed. We would also like to record our sincere thanks to HCA, who generously provided bookkeeping support to the charity for a number of years.

Income for the Charity for the year ended 31 July 2025 amounted to £292,321 (2024: £275,595) comprising £218,102 (2024: £195,007) from the various donations and local community fundraising initiatives, other fundraising activities of £68,264 (2024: £78,302) and investment income of £5,955 (2024: £2,286).

Trustees' Report (continued)

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Appointment of charity trustees

(1) At every annual general meeting of the members of the CIO, one-third of the charity trustees shall retire from office. If the number of charity trustees is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to one-third shall retire from office, but if there is only one charity trustee, he or she shall retire.

(2) The charity trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. If any trustees were last appointed or reappointed on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

(3) The vacancies so arising may be filled by the decision of the members at the annual general meeting; any vacancies not filled at the annual general meeting may be filled as provided in sub-clause (5) of this clause.

(4) The members or the charity trustees may at any time decide to appoint a new charity trustee, whether in place of a charity trustee who has retired or been removed in accordance with clause 15 (Retirement and removal of charity trustees), or as an additional charity trustee, provided that the limit specified in clause 12(3) on the number of charity trustees would not as a result be exceeded.

(5) A person so appointed by the members of the CIO shall retire in accordance with the provisions of sub-clauses (2) and (3) of this clause. A person so appointed by the charity trustees shall retire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting after the date of his or her appointment, and shall not be counted for the purpose of determining which of the charity trustees is to retire by rotation at that meeting.

Plans for future periods

Aims and key objectives for future periods

This year has also been an important one in terms of governance and planning for the future. Trustees have spent time working on strategy, succession planning and ensuring we have the right structures in place as the charity continues to grow and evolve.

Much of this work has been supported through the assistance of Lloyds Bank Foundation. That support continues, and we would particularly like to thank our advisor Karen for the time and guidance she has given us.

None of what we achieve would be possible without the incredible commitment of our volunteers, who continue to give their time, energy and compassion. They truly are the heart of Newbury Soup Kitchen and we are hugely grateful to every one of them.

We would also like to thank Meryl for her leadership and dedication. The work done by Meryl and her team every day makes a real and lasting difference to people’s lives.

And finally, we would like to give a particular thank you to Becky, who has recently stepped down as a Trustee and Treasurer.

Becky has done an outstanding job over many years, helping to guide the charity through a period of growth and ensuring our finances remain well managed and secure. We are extremely grateful for everything you have done for NSK.

Looking ahead, while there will always be challenges, the charity is in a strong position, with good governance, a committed team, and a clear focus on continuing to support those who need us.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Newbury Soup Kitchen

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Newbury Soup Kitchen for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of Newbury Soup Kitchen you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Newbury Soup Kitchen's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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

Since Newbury Soup Kitchen's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants which is one of the listed bodies.

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 Newbury Soup Kitchen as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

Charitable expenditure, direct costs and support costs comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Newbury Soup Kitchen

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2025 (continued)

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:

Designated funds

Newbury Soup Kitchen has built financial reserves to support its long-term plan to move into a permanent Community Support Centre, with Greenham Trust supporting development of a purpose-built facility. The project is expected to enter pre-planning in 2026, with completion estimated within around two years.

The charity’s current base at Hambridge Lane (provided by SWIFT Logistics) meets immediate needs but lacks the space and facilities required for expanding, integrated services. A future premises needs to accommodate food storage and provision, outreach and support rooms, health and wellbeing services (including hairdressing, nursing and eye tests), statutory outreach sessions, secure storage for homelessness supplies, and suitable parking and outdoor space for vulnerable clients.

Reserves are designated to cover the transition to the new centre, including fit-out, equipment, setup costs, relocation, and ongoing service expansion. Additional fundraising continues to ensure readiness when a suitable building is secured.

.

Restricted funds

The National Lottery grant for one years funding for a part-time outreach worker to help to support women.

The Berkshire Community Foundation and Greenham Trust grants are for the provision of funds to cover operating activities.

Deferred income

Included in other creditors is £41,086 of deferred income. £16,086 of this relates to funds received from National Lottery in the year for which the performance obligations were not met as at 31 July 2025 and £25,000 relates to funds received from Lloyds Bank Foundation in the year ended 31 July 2025. This will be released to the SOFA in the year ended 31 July 2026.

The Lloyds Bank Foundation grant is to be applied for any costs which further the social purpose of Newbury Soup Kitchen.
