“We can change the World and make it a better place. It is in our hands to make a difference.” Nelson Mandela

2021-22 - a year of evolving change - the year we tentatively went back to our pre-pandemic lives, whilst continuing to navigate the impact that Covid-19 has had on the way we work, socialise and travel. Post pandemic we saw an unprecedented growth in the number of people and organisations needing our support - driven by an increased cost of living, unemployment & redundancies, changes to universal credit, and most recently fuel increases resulting in many families being forced to choose whether to heat or eat.

Having enhanced the way in which we served the North East in 2020, Feeding Families further evolved in 2021 to respond to the growing needs in our community and helping more people than ever before, the launch of our new HQ played a pivotal role in our ability to operationally step up. We supported those in financial difficulty through Emergency food boxes, ensured that people leaving hospital had food to go home to, and continued our legacy of providing Christmas Hampers to families who can seldom afford treats which most of us take for granted. In addition to fulfilling immediate needs through food provision, we furthered our presence within the community working with schools, delivering youth education and partnering with other local charities & organisations - coming together to achieve common goals.

The growing need that we see within the community that we serve is palpable, and the challenge that we face daily to raise enough money & gather enough food is unrelenting - but our small but perfectly formed army of donors, supporters, volunteers, staff and trustees continue to amaze us with their generosity and selfless pursuit to make the World (or at least our North East patch of it), a better place than they found it. Myself and the trustees are tremendously grateful to all those who work with and support us, and we are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved. Spurred on by love, compassion & empathy they help us to evolve and make a real difference, in the hope that one day our services will no longer be required.

Mission Statement

Our Vision

Our mission is to:

1) Provide relief to any person experiencing poverty primarily in the North East of England. We will do this, in particular but not exclusively, through the provision of food, education and other resources which they could not otherwise afford.

2) Promote wellbeing and mental health for those who give and receive aid.

We aspire to be a numerically growing and geographically expanding community of people who offer practical help and support to families in financial difficulties at Christmas and beyond. We aim to motivate individuals and local and national businesses to connect with us and to inspire acts of kindness and generosity which bring joy and hope and provide a practical response to a very real and desperate situation that is happening right here in our towns and cities.

PEOPLE HELPED

Welcome Homes boxes have been an innovative pilot project, designed initially to support vulnerable patients returning home after a hospital stay. The mix of low/no cook foods and basic toiletries have been well received in hospitals across the north east.

It turned out that some patients have no home to go to and so we have adapted a homeless version and are also in discussions about using these to support ex offenders on release from prison and young people leaving the care system.

Having food to support health and mental wellbeing is so important!

On the back of this we have started a sewing group in the Blaydon centre to make drawstring bags to hold the toiletries which go out alongside the boxes.

27,600+ PEOPLE HELPED

"As a mother of 6 (4 growing boys still at home) and a partner to an amazing fiance I have always strived to work and provide for us as a family, even throughout one of our son's childhood cancer treatment, I still worked where possible. Sadly I suffer from the devastating effects of Covid-19 and have Long Covid which has meant I've had to leave work due to the symptoms I suffer with and find myself on the receiving end of care rather being the care giver. This has been awful in more ways than one after being a woman who has always been the rock of our family. It's been really embarrassing for me to ask for help but I'm so pleased I did. My hamper which was gifted to us meant my family were able to have a Christmas day lunch without myself and my partner having the added stress of where we were to find the money to provide it. Its been horrendous for us, but the generosity of the donors is just an absolute life line for many. Myself included. "

"This is now a yearly Christmas tradition for me! I absolutely love going shopping for the hamper and knowing I’m providing for a family in need just makes it all so worthwhile!"

Impact on Donors

"We always make some kind of food donation at Christmas but this year we wanted to know our donation to be exactly what a family needed and Feeding Families allowed us to do that. Our little boy really enjoyed having an input into the hamper and learning about how some children aren’t as lucky as he is. We will continue donating with Feeding Families."

It does you good to do good! As well as thousands of families benefitting, our donors tell us what it means to them. Christmas is a particular time of giving but the goodness goes all year round.

Impact on Families

Can a box of food make a difference? Yes it can! Every small act of kindness can transform a life at a moment of need.

"I cried when I shut the door, the lady who dropped it off made me feel like such a equal. She was non judgemental, kind and respectful. It was a wonderful hamper that made such a difference to me while in need.

Words cannot express how it changed me."

Impact on Partnerships

In 2021-22 we worked with 150 other charities, schools and organisations to get food distributed into the areas where it is most needed in the community.

Supporting them with food allows our partners to concentrate on their valuable work and they know they can rely on having food available quickly for the people they know and support.

"We delivered a hamper to a lady who lived alone and has various health issues. Due to mobility issues and feeling vulnerable because of Covid, she is reluctant to leave her home. The lady was being assisted by our team to apply for disability and means tested benefits.

When the hamper was delivered the lady was overwhelmed by the display of kindness. She stated that

‘throughout Covid she had received no support and struggled on alone. This was the first time anyone had thought about her needs. A few days later she also rang the office to once again express her gratitude."

Engaging Youth Champions

Children are our future! That's why we love to encourage children and young people into giving and volunteering at Feeding Families.

In 2021 we received funding to develop & deliver a package into schools to educate children on food poverty and to inspire them to come up with ideas on how they can make a difference. This might be planning a food collection or organising a fundraising event. They came up with some fabulous ideas.

We use a book called "It's a No Money Day" to start the discussions, it's been a great way of engaging with schools - something we hope to do build upon in the coming year.

2021-22 Annual Report

Supporting Schools

Working hand in hand with schools has been a wonderful way of getting help where it's most needed.

We hear a lot about children receiving free school meals but sometimes those in need fall below the required threshold and don't qualify for any help. Supporting families in this way is an important element of our work.

"A family asked for support due to struggling financially due to the pandemic and growing debts. Initially food packs were provided, and the school identified funding for white goods and the pupil was encouraged to attend breakfast club.

The family then shared with us they were worried about Christmas and had not celebrated Christmas the previous year due to the cost. They were supported to apply for the Christmas family appeal and were successful. As we were now aware of the families worries, we were able to obtain school uniform to reduce the family’s outgoings and they are now on a payment plan which has prevented them losing their tenancy.

All of this was possible due to school having the facilities to offer a food pack which then opened the door for more targeted support. The family had a wonderful Christmas they told me and were so grateful for their hamper. They know packs remain available at school and they can contact us for any additional support which reassures us as a school, that no child will go without food."

Blaydon HQ

On 1st April 2021 we opened our new centre in Blaydon - an expansion from our first centre in Byers Green. The former gym was in a sad state, thanks to the hard work completed by staff and volunteers over a number of months, the building has been transformed into a welcoming, functional space for packing and distribution.

4,000 sq ft of space allowed us to run our whole of our Christmas Hamper operation from the central hall.

Having a base in Tyneside has helped us to achieve a broader reach reach in terms of recipients and volunteers.

Byers Green Packing Centre

Our original packing centre in Byers Green continues to be a central part of our operations and is managed by a committed team of volunteers.

Due to their hard work and deep cleaning the centre gained a 5* food rating this year.

Sadly, the building is going to be put up for sale this year, so we are looking for new premises in the area.

Volunteers

Feeding Families relies upon an

army of volunteers! Whether it's making and delivering a hamper, helping in one of the packing centres, driving deliveries out across the region, completing administration behind the scenes or joining the fundraising team - each person brings a unique skill and their support means we can make a massive difference to thousands of people.

"Volunteering at Feeding Families gives me a huge sense of fulfilment. There is a great team spirit and everyone "gets it". We all recognise the community need and it feels good to be doing something to alleviate even a small part of the issue."

"Anyone's circumstances can change overnight and then be left facing hardship. Food is a vital and basic need. To me, it's all about making a difference where we can, helping out to support those most in need and feeling good that my small contribution can matter to someone in a big way. Feeding families is a real team effort that inspires hope and kindness. A team that I'm proud to be part of."

Getting involved

Whether it's doing a monthly food collection round the area where you live, using your talents to fundraise, giving up your Golden Wedding gifts, getting your doggy daycare involved or being a regular donor, there are lots of ways people get involved with Feeding Families. All these incredible people (and dogs) and many more made a huge difference this year.

Business Support

Paul Moralee, Community Investment Manager at Karbon Homes, said: “The current landscape is putting a real strain on many of our residents and the communities we support, and as a result our

partnerships with community projects and charities are more important than ever.

Feeding Families is a fantastic charity, providing much needed support to those in crisis right across the North East. By working alongside them we’ve been able to support a number of our residents with emergency food boxes, and we’re committed to offering what additional support we can going forward, from colleague volunteers through to food drives.”

Partnerships like the one with Karbon Homes are key in ensuring Feeding Families’ support is accessible to those in need across the region.

Special people

In December 2021 Ros Hall, our Volunteer Coordinator and instigator of our Welcome Home boxes was shortlisted as Volunteer of the Year by the Northern Echo. Ros is a shining example of the role our volunteers play in helping the charity.

Ros Hall

Sarah Ticherou

At the end of February 2022, Sarah Ticherou, our Chair since 2019, decided to step down from her role. Sarah's contribution to the charity has been outstanding. From coming along as a volunteer to our first Christmas packing centre in 2017, she has worked tirelessly to grow the charity, often taking on several roles at a time. She is going to be missed by us all.

We are, however, delighted that Emma Jarvis has stepped up to take the reins and lead us forward into a new season.

Summary

Although we have been successful in helping thousands of people in 202122, we are under no illusion - the need for our service continues to grow. With the increase of financial pressures on so many families, demand is rising steeply whilst donations have reduced. Undeterred, we are committed to increasing our reach and impacting many more people in the years to come.

None of this is possible without the community coming together, be it individuals, businesses or grant makers, to give food, money and time. At the start of the new year we look back on so many achievements but also look forward to the challenges ahead.

FEEDING FAMILIES The trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31st March 2022

Governing document

Feeding Families is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by a constitution, which is registered with the Charity Commission. A copy of the constitution is available on request.

Organisational Structure and Management

The organisation operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered on 28 Aug 2018 with the Charity Commission. The organisation is governed by the Trustees, who determine strategic direction and policy. The day to day operation is also carried out by the Trustees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

New trustees are invited to apply when a vacancy arises, and this is advertised to our supporters as well as on volunteer websites. Following application, a series of meetings takes place to ascertain if the applicant and charity are suited to work together and then a vote is taken by the trustees to confirm the appointment.

Risk management

Risks are highlighted and managed within the context of trustee meetings. The charity has taken appropriate insurance cover for the main risks it faces.

Objectives

Our mission is to:

1) provide relief to any person experiencing poverty primarily in north east England. We will do this, in particular but not exclusively, through the provision of food, education and other resources which they could not otherwise afford.

We aspire to be a numerically growing and geographically expanding community of people who offer practical help and support to families in financial difficulties at Christmas and beyond. We aim to motivate individuals and local and national businesses to connect with us and to inspire acts of kindness and generosity which bring joy and hope and provide a practical response to a very real and desperate situation that is happening right here in our towns and cities.

Significant activities

On 1 April 2021 we opened a second packing centre and HQ in Blaydon, Tyne and Wear. This was due to having exceeded the capacity at our initial centre in Byers Green. We continued to operate from both sites with a north and south base, aiding distribution.

Our packing centre distributed in excess of 161,000 meals across the north east in 2021-22 and supplied over 9000 Christmas hampers.

We began a pilot for a youth project, going into schools and educating on food poverty while also inspiring children to use their talents to make a change in the world through volunteering and fundraising.

Covid had brough forward the need for low/no cook food for patients being discharged from the NHS. A pilot, supplying “Welcome Home” boxes to emergency departments and discharge lounges. The reception to these has been extremely positive and so the pilot will be moved into an implementation phase in the next year.

Charitable activities

Continuing our partnership model of working collaboratively with charities, schools and organisations who do not have their own food offering, we supported 150 partners at Christmas and a fluctuating number through the year. Some organisations receive regular emergency boxes while others request on an ad hoc basis.

Our flagship Christmas project continues to grow. We experienced an increase in the giving of Christmas hampers from 8014 in 2020 to 9047 in 2021. These large hampers had an average approximate value of £65 where one household donated to another and £30 for those produced at our packing centre.

Our fundraising activities continued to be impacted by Covid and repeated lockdowns and so we continued to hold back on organising events. However, individuals and companies supported us well through sponsorship and we aim to build on this in the coming year.

Page 2

FEEDING FAMILIES The trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31st March 2022

Fundraising activities

Our fundraising activities were impacted by the pandemic as we were unable to organise any meetings. However, a few of our supporters organised virtual or socially distanced events such as a sponsored extreme run over 100 miles, online music concerts, a Christmas raffle, virtual craft fair and the Great North Run done by children on their stairs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The trustees aim to maintain reserves in restricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide funds to respond to carry out the work of the charity and the support and governance required for it to operate.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with 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 declare that they have approved the above report. Signed on behalf of the trustees

Independent examiners report to the trustees of FEEDING FAMILIES for the year ended 31st March 2022

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 6.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Professional fees include those costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements, including Accountancy fees.
