## **AYLESBURY FOODBANK ANNUAL REPORT 2021**
Report Prepared by Kevin Piper Chair of Trustees, Heather Joy Garrett Operations Manager and Kim Hopping Finance Manager
## **1.Management and governance arrangements**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each fiscal year, which show a true and fair view of the charity's situation and its financial activities for that period. In preparing this the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- Follow applicable accountancy standards, and departures being disclosed in financial statements.
- Prepare annual financial statements if the charity continues in operational existence.
Aylesbury Foodbank during 2021 was governed by the following trustees Board

Mr Simon Weaver – Treasurer (Trustee since 24/4/2018)

Mr Tim Dixon (Trustee since 9/2021)

Two Trustees stood down during the year Jake Crane and Christian Roby. No new Trustees have joined. In addition to the Trustees 2 ex-officio members, Heather Joy Garrett (Operations Manager) and Kim Hopping (Finance Manager) sit on the Board.
Aylesbury Foodbank maintains its membership of the Foodbank Network run by Salisbury-based The Trussell Trust (TT) and by March 2021 there were over 1,200 foodbank centres across the network. Along with TT, we continue to be involved in lobbying the government about the inadequacies, inefficiencies and unfairness in the benefits provided as well as generating local media coverage that has helped build support for the foodbank both in donations and volunteering.
## **2.Report on the activities of Aylesbury Foodbank to 31[st] December 2021**
Aylesbury foodbank continues to be extremely grateful to the public and many organisations and businesses that have supported it with food and financial donations to meet our clients' increased need and keep our volunteers safe.
As this calendar year started, the UK was engulfed by the Covid-19 pandemic which continued until July 2021. Aylesbury Foodbank was able to respond flexibly in its operations to meet the increasing needs of its clients whilst protecting its volunteers. This included.
Page **2** of **8**
- a. Implementing Covid handling restrictions and guidelines within the warehouse
- b. Establishing a common rota so volunteers are common for each shift with social distancing.
- c. Arranging home delivery through our partnership with helping hands and the support of Bucks County Councillor Waheed Raja.
- d. Implementation of appointment-only sessions at our Distribution Centres
- e. Purchase of additional items for Health and Safety
- f. The introduction of an electronic voucher system enabled referral partner staff, often working from home, to remotely issue vouchers.
- g. Demand for food during this year exceeded individual and community donations. During 2021 we spent £8,970.42 on food purchases.
We continue to operate through a central Warehouse at 44 Rabans Close Aylesbury serving 7 distribution centres around Aylesbury. These operate from St Peter’s Church Quarrendon, Southcourt Baptist Church, The Church of the Holy Spirit Bedgrove, More + and Oaks Community Cafes, Buckingham Park Community Centre, and Esquires Coffee Shop Berryfields. We are establishing formal “agreements” with each centre, run by their volunteers, to ensure consistency of service provision and signposting. We are grateful for the commitment of the Christian Community in Aylesbury which operate these centres.
We are pleased to have introduced Bar Coding technology in the Warehouse gaining greater efficiency in weighing new stock in box management and distribution. We would like to thank Peter Holliday and the planning team for developing and implementing this system
We provide 3-day boxes of food, nutritionally balanced, to meet the needs of people who are Homeless, Single, Couples Small and or Large Families. All food provided is long-life and within date.
## **2.1 Client Statistics**
2021 saw an increase of 37% in the number of people fed, there was an even greater increase of 48% in the number of children fed which indicates the strain experienced by low-income families.

The reasons, people gave, for the provision of food boxes are as follows
||Benefit Issues|Debt|Homeless|Low Income|Sickness|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|2016|240|29|44|135|15|
|2017|418|84|40|472|34|

Page **3** of **8**
Clients with benefit in 2019 reflect the system changes to Universal credit in 2019. We have worked hard in recent years to redefine Low Income and to understand the reasons for this. We accept many of our clients are on Zero Hour Contracts or Minimum wage. Through this work we have improved the reporting of Debt and Sickness as the driver for low income and are now able to report this more accurately.
Debt has increased as austerity has continued, and we are likely to see this increase further into 2022 as incomes come under pressure from Inflation as well as Utility price increases.
It is also notable that the number of homeless claims decreased over lockdown. This was a direct result of government initiatives to house the homeless during the pandemic in temporary accommodation. Now that the pandemic is over, we are starting to see a rise again in Homeless demand.
## Longer term users of the Foodbank
Although our aim is to provide 3 days of emergency food provision to our clients, we know there is a small number of clients who use our services frequently. We define those as clients who have used the foodbank more than 5 times in a 6-month period.
We began monitoring the statistics for this grouping in 2021 when there were 58 Households and 166 people that were frequent users. (Note: This is presently 110 households and 282 people in 2022). The primary reason frequent users need the foodbank are due to long-term sickness, and long-term poor or infrequent low-wage employment. The benefits provided to this group appear inadequate to meet their needs.
An example of this is the lack of availability of Housing Association properties where the waiting list increased by 33% in 2021. This is against a backdrop of the profile of available rental properties on Zoopla which shows the vast majority over £899 per month for a 2-bedroom property. Debt is often the result.

Aylesbury Foodbank continues to be generously supported by the local community with donations made by the public at Waitrose Aylesbury and Tesco Broadfields who became our partner in 2021. Collectively supermarket channels represent 40% of donations received. Tesco also provides a financial contribution based on the weight of goods donated by their customers.
Donations made by individuals to our warehouse or collection bins represent 18%, and Churches, Schools, Corporations and Community groups represent a further 33%.
We thank the following organisations with collection bins at their premises. Legacy Funeral directors, Bradmoor Farm, Buckingham Park Community Centre, and Quainton Village store.
As well as the provision of food to our clients, we supported the collection of food for over 350 hampers distributed by the Community Christmas Lunch Fund over Christmas 2021.
We are pleased to say we only need to throw away a small number of Out-of-Date Foods (OOD) as this is now offered to a local Pig farmer. Thanks to strong stock controls established by our planning team the amount of OOD food has been reduced to that which is provided to us as already out of date.
Sadly, despite this generosity we were forced to buy 3.713 tonnes of food this year to ensure that we were able to maintain continuity of supply on all items on the Foodbank provision list.
This year we have seen a significant erosion of our stock holding at year end with 45.849 tonnes of stock received and 53.090 tonnes of stock used.
## **2.3 Referral partners**
Aylesbury foodbank has 74 referral partners able to issue electronic vouchers. All our distribution partners can issue vouchers. During covid, we have seen a significant decline in the number of referrals from Agencies this may be because many of them were working from home. The Foodbank distribution centres particularly SBC dominate voucher issuing.

## **2.4 Employees and Volunteers**
During 2021 we employed 2 part-time employees. Heather Joy Garret as Operations Manager (3 days a week) and Kim Hopping as Finance Manager (2 days per week).
We operate a weekly rota with 24 volunteers at the warehouse and a further 14 at our distribution partners. Our volunteers are well-trained and enthusiastic. We also support local students doing their Duke of Edinburgh award with volunteer opportunities.
The Trustees are profoundly grateful for the extremely demanding work of our employees and volunteers
## **2.5 ACTS 435 a New Initiative.**
In November 2021 we successfully launched a Peer Gifting Service – ACTS 435. We launched this as a trial with the St Peters Church distribution centre. This enables us to offer payments of up to £150 to users of the foodbank who are facing financial difficulties for a specific reason and Is designed to offset this cost. Aylesbury Foodbank gives the full payment at the time of distress and seeks recovery of the funds from ACTS 435 supporters A financial analysis of this scheme is given in the financial report.
## **3.FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 – Prepared by Kim Hopping Finance Manager Aylesbury Foodbank**

## Key observations
Since 2016 we had been paying Business Rates when many of our neighbours did not pay anything.in 2021 we challenged this, and our rates were reassessed with a refund of £1,040.92
In 2020 it had become necessary We have set aside funds for the purchase of food when we are running short of items needed for the make-up of Food Parcels. We allocated £8,739 to food purchase in 2021 and this helped us to maintain supply.
The non-food costs of making boxes for the last year came to £914.42 (1.49%) This was low as we were holding residual boxes and building materials from 2020 expenditure
Taking the expenditure for the year less the figures for Equipment and Sundry payments puts our monthly running costs at £4,815 a month in 2021

## **3.3 Performance of ACTS435**
In November 2021 Aylesbury Foodbank signed up as an Advocate partner for Acts 435 (www.acts435.org.uk) We initially allocated £2,000 to this initiative with trustees prepared to risk this investment should we not be able to recover it from Acts 435 donations. Induvial requests for grants are paid by Aylesbury Foodbank at the time of distress. These requests are then posted online so that the public can make donations to support the individual grant requests. From launch to the end of December 2021 Aylesbury foodbank made grants totalling £520. All grants were recovered through donations.
## **3.4 Outcome**
At the end of a successful year, we have been able to carry forward £86,834.01. This includes £20,000 set aside as Reserves.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to all our supporters and donors for giving us the security of knowing that we can continue to help those in need in Aylesbury into 2022.
