OUR MISSION

OUR CHARITABLE OBJECIVES

To relieve financial hardship for the public benefit by providing such items for babies and children as the trustees deem appropriate.

Our mission is to alleviate poverty by providing new and preloved children’s essentials to babies and children in Brighton & Hove (and neighbouring parts of Sussex).

Pelican Parcels is based on a simple concept – we take items from families that no longer need them and gift them to families that do.

OUR IMPACT SINCE WE BEGAN

As we present our annual report and impact for this financial year, we’d also like to take a moment to reflect on the meaningful impact we’ve made during our first six full years of operations as a charity.

Whilst the items distributed can be small - clothes, shoes, bottles, nappies - the positive and consequential impact for the families receiving this support can be enormous.

We are committed to delivering our service and parcels of support with dignity, respect, and, most importantly, with love and compassion. Our hope being that whilst we provide certain essential items we also give families a tangible reminder that they are valued and seen. Above all, it shows that their well-being, and the well-being of their children, really matter in our community.

These accounts represent our 6th full year as a charity.

In those 6 years we have:

l supported over 30,000 children and their families

l regularly have 33 volunteers supporting our work weekly giving over 5,500 hours annually l worked with 75 local businesses

l grown our team to 5 members of part time staff. l work with over 60 referral partners

OUR WORK

Pelican Parcels works to recycle pre-loved essential items for babies and primary school aged children up to the age of 12. We take them from families who no longer need them and give them to those who do. We are the only baby bank working up to the age of 12 in the city.

We continue to support local families where the ongoing cost of living crisis often means they can’t afford the basics. The focus of our work is predominantly in Brighton & Hove and surrounding areas in East Sussex. However, we would not restrict our help if other support isn’t on offer and we joined the Baby Bank Alliance to ensure families right across the UK are able to access support.

Whatever the size, the parcel makes a big difference. We collect items, receive referrals and distribute them to those in need.

Collect

Referral

Distribution

Once referrals and requests for items are received from partners, our volunteers process and package them. Donations are carefully sorted, with love and care by our hard-working team, helping to ensure they are ready to be gifted to a new family in beautiful condition.

Our parcels are distributed free of charge by our partners at scheduled visits, through children’s centres, foodbanks, schools and charity networks. Partners collect the parcels from our warehouse or we take them to their places of work.

We have regular open sessions where people drop off items. Our base of operations was Unit 9 Industrial House, Conway Street, Hove, BN3 3LW, we then moved in May 2025 to our new bigger premises.

The new operational address is Units 1–2 Manor Industrial Estate, Newtown Road, Hove, BN3 7BA.

Our 6 : main projects are

School Uniform project – uniform including 4. PE kit and new shoes.

5. Celebrations project – new gifts for key moments such as birthdays, Christmas and Eid.

Play and Learn project – providing nurseries books

We are now working with over 65 local partner organisations.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

We don’t accept self referrals from families as we believe in working in partnership and not replicating existing services.

By working on a referral basis only it ensures that families are receiving other support – such as working with a foodbank to help feed them, or a housing officer or debt and welfare officers, or the Family Information Service to signpost them to relevant support and services in the city.

We work hard to foster and develop partnerships with local organisations and key workers; charities, schools, family hubs, health and social care workers, midwives and hospital staff, in order to be able to reach and support local families needing the essential items that we can provide.

As part of the national Baby Bank Alliance we are connected to other similar organisations and through this network we are able share and pool knowledge and working practices. Also by sharing statistics we can portray a national picture of the essential nature of our work.

Partnerships and developing our referral network is crucial to enable Pelican Parcels to reach families and deliver support in the city.

We work in a collaborative way and as such have a wide array of referral partners:

l 26 charities and community organisations

l 14 primary schools
l 5 council nurseries
l 3 Brighton Hospitals: Royal Alexandra; Brighton General; and Royal Sussex County hospitals; supporting NHS professionals in perinatal, midwives, health visitors, GPs and Nursery Nurses
l 4 Family Hubs across Brighton in Moulsecoomb, Whitehawk, Hangleton and Portslade, and Central Brighton,
l 2 Family Hubs in Peacehaven and Adur Shoreham
l 10 Brighton & Hove City Council teams including those working in asylum, health and adult social care, housing ethnic minority achievement service, health visitors, midwives, local discretionary social fund, Front Door for Families, EPAP and social workers teams across the city
l 1 MP referral.

SUMMARY OF OUR IMPACT IN 2024 – 2025

We distributed 71,486 items which would have potentially cost our families £182,748 if purchasing mostly preloved.

These items weighed 20,877kg which might otherwise have gone to landfill – that’s the equivalent of over 2,900 pelicans!

l Impacted 7,337 children and their families, supplying parcels directly to 4136 children. l 445 families using foodbanks for support were given a week’s worth of nappies and/or formula.

l 385 children were given school uniform

parcels including 4,258 items of clothing, shoes and filled PE bags.

l 3544 Celebration parcels were gifted to mark Christmas, Eid and birthdays.

l 417 books were given to nurseries supporting

139 children to have books to take home and keep.

l Worked with over 65 referral partners.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2024

We have given parcels to 4136 children and 91 pregnant mums and their families providing them with 71,486 items. That includes:

Children and families helped.

Referrals.

Babies and children were given a parcel of support.

Families visiting foodbanks were given a week’s worth of nappies and/or formula.

Children were given chool uniform parcels.

Celebration parcels were gifted to mark Christmas, Eid and birthdays.

Books were given to nurseries supporting 139 children to have books to take home and keep.

Worth of goods to families was given out, that they might otherwise have had to buy.

Tonnes of children’s items that might otherwise have gone to landfill.

The Operations Coordinator, appointed in November 2024, predominantly works to support the preparation and packaging of referrals, overseeing quality control and tasking and training the volunteers in the warehouse to sort, check and process donations.

Our Volunteer Co-ordinator, appointed in December 2024, works on recruiting and supporting our volunteers as well as developing our volunteer programme to offer a great experience for everyone helping our service, and ultimately helping our supported families.

In March 2025 we appointed a new Fundraising Manager who will start work in the next financial year.

DIGITALISATION OF REFERRALS

We have invested in and developed a new bespoke online referrals system with Salesforce which will move our whole referrals process into a digital format.

The system allows us to

l process, track and ultimately distribute our referrals more easily
l have a quick snapshot overview of all current and completed activities
l access our data and reporting in real time, as previously we had this in paper format which had then to be input manually by a volunteer
l track the monetary cost of items that we are giving out, based on buying the equivalent items in the local preloved marketplace
l track the weight of our parcels and estimate how many kilograms we’ve saved from local landfill, helping us talk about the impact of our recycling and developing further our ‘green’ credentials.

This investment in our systems was possible thanks to a grant by CriSeren Foundation.

NEW NEST

We have finalised a lease and moved to a new warehouse in May 2025 – doubling our storage and administrative space. This significant move will enable the charity to grow and develop our service programme yet further. It will be an important next step for Pelican Parcels and is an exciting way to end / start our financial year!

The campaign raised £42,017 from 188 supporters

WHY WE ARE NEEDED

Children are consistently the highest section of the UK population living in poverty: 4.5 million children are growing up in poverty – that’s 30% of all children. Locally in Brighton and Hove, after housing costs the percentage of children in poverty was 28% in 2023/2024 – that’s approximately 9 children in every classroom being affected by poverty.

The portion of children receiving free school meals varies considerably across the city but reaches over 63% in some areas. This has grown over 17% since the pandemic and the numbers are still rising.

Poverty and destitution are impacting families’ abilities to meet basic physical needs like staying warm, dry, clean and fed. This has deep and profound impacts on health, mental health and people’s prospects . Consequently, the need for Pelican Parcels is still growing and our support is essential.

BABY BANK ALLIANCE

public services and help cut carbon through item reuse.

” Dani Adams BBA Executive Lead

We are proud to be a member of the Baby Bank Alliance, a network connecting over 225 baby banks across the UK.

Insights from the Baby Bank Alliance Annual Impact and Membership Survey combining data provided by 180 baby banks, showed that in 2024, baby banks:

l Supported 216,000 children and babies (up 9% from 2023).
l 118,000 families (up 25% from 2023)
l Distributed 3.2 million essential items (151% more than 2023) including;
l 144,000 clothing bundles
l 196,000 books
l 35,000 infant sleeping bags.
l Actioned 155,000 referrals - up 35%, continuing a year-on year rise since 2021.
l Volunteer hours rose by 82% in 2024, while paid
staffing grew by just 31%..
l 38,000 tonnes of carbon emissions were prevented through item reuse.

Regionally baby banks in the South East supported over 60,000 children and 30,000 families in 2024.

OUR MAIN PROJECTS

We have continued to grow and develop our six main strands of work.

We are very fortunate to have a very generous community. Most of what is given to families is donated from other families. Last year we distributed about 20.9 tonnes of items to families, which might otherwise have gone to landfill.

Essential Parcels

Poverty can mean that a family has very little disposable income and may struggle to fund essential items for their babies and children. Families referred to our service may need beds, buggies and highchairs, clothing packs and shoes, nappies and toiletries, books, toys and games and other key essentials.

Some of our parcels are small containing perhaps just a bag of toys to help stimulate a child’s imagination, learning and development, whereas others are big including all the key things a pregnant mum will need for a new baby to be clothed, transported, to sleep and to play.

Whatever the size of items gifted, the parcel makes a big difference.

845,000 children miss school due to hygiene poverty.

I just wanted to say what an amazing package you have put together for our family in need. The child was extremely excited by all the unicorns and “pretty clothes”. You are so important to the local community and make such a difference to the lives of the children and families you support.” Gemma Turner, Brighton

This year we have given out:

clothing packs with a week’s worth of clothes, so a child can look and feel ready to start the day – whether that’s a child going to the park to play – or a baby warm and ready to play That’s 29,000 individual items of clothing!

prams and baby carriers, enabling families to get out and about, be that to the supermarket, to the park, or to a medical appointment. That’s nearly 5 a week!

highchairs and weaning sets to support as children move onto solid food

toys and games ensuring children’s imaginations can be stimulated so they can engage in creative play

pairs of footwear, so a child is ready to put its best foot forward – whether that’s jumping in muddy puddles – or putting on a comfy pair of slippers after a busy day in their school shoes

toiletry items, with 106 baby baths and inserts, plus 406 towels as hygiene poverty severely affects health and wellbeing

items to support breastfeeding or tubs of formula to help ensure that babies are fed the right amount and in a healthy, safe way

books supporting reading and learning right from board books through to the likes of Harry Potter!

The safest place for your baby to sleep for the first 6 months is in a clear safe sleeping space, such as a cot or moses basket.

NHS

A Good Night’s Sleep Project

beds were given out

new mattresses were given out

Families with very little disposable income often aren’t able to afford a cot and so a baby or child sleeps in the parent’s bed or on the sofa or floor or they can’t afford to replace or repair unsuitable beds or bedding, for example bedding that has gone mouldy.

By offering a cot or bed we increase safe sleeping, welfare and wellbeing. Recent research shows that 41% of families on low incomes have struggled to afford beds or key items for their household and 11% of children have had to share a bed or sleep on the floor in the last 12 months, an estimated 894,000 children.

items of bedlinen were given out

We supply moses baskets, cots, toddler beds and single beds. Every safe sleeping space is provided with a new mattress and bedding and bedlinen if required.

The increase in demand for beds continues to increase unabated and we are now supplying on average 5 beds every week of the year.

Foodbank Partnership Project

We work to supply local foodbanks with weekly or monthly orders of nappies, wipes and formula to give out to families they are seeing. We help ensure they are always stocked with the right size nappy and the right type of formula to accompany a weekly food parcel.

We have worked closely again this year with several local foodbank services who reach some of the most vulnerable in our community including the refugee foodbank at Voices in Exile, Moulsecoomb Community Market and Brighton Foodbank.

packs of nappies were given out

We have been able to continue this work with foodbanks thanks to the support from the Brighton & Hove City Council’s Household Support Grant, which is part of the UK Government’s Household Support Fund to support families and those struggling to afford to pay for essential items.

packs of wipes were given out

tubs of formula were given out

children were supported

One of our client’s mother came to our food bank on behalf of her as her daughter had to take care of her 3 weeks old newborn baby at that time. They really appreciated the nappies and baby wipes from Pelican Parcels so they could save money for

School Uniform Project

Providing school uniforms can be an effective way to ensure that children in families experiencing poverty have the right kit, look smart and are ready for a school day every day.

Each uniform parcel contains non-branded uniform items, new school shoes, new PE trainers plus children are given a filled PE bag as some teachers mentioned how children don’t have their own school bag to take their items to/from school. The PE bag is given with a new water bottle, stationery, and other items for use at home such as books and notepads.

items of school uniform were distributed to children & families

This year we have added four more school partners so we’re now working with 13 local schools and 6 council nurseries to provide uniform parcels to children at school and those about to transition from nursery to reception.

children were given school uniform parcels

pairs of socks or winter tights

polo shirts

PE bags with filled pairs of new pencil case, water school shoes bottle and books and PE trainers

“We would like to sincerely thank you for your generosity in providing smart new uniforms, free of charge, to many of our families in need. The children themselves are beaming with pride – one even came to my office to proudly show off their new ‘pelican’ shoes! Your kindness is deeply appreciated.”

Gill Foan, Headteacher, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary school

We partnered with two other charities to help deliver a stock of key items: Sals Shoes who provided five boxes of brand new school shoes and PE trainers and Smarter Uniforms who joined us at some of our pop up events..

Celebrations Project Christmas and Eid presents

We want to help families celebrate special moments in the calendar, be that Christmas or Eid or other key moments such as birthdays.

Christmas, Eid and birthday present parcels were given out

Our ‘Secret Santa’ Christmas campaign and Eid Gift campaign offers presents for the children, any older siblings in the household and up to 2 parents/carers (who otherwise might not get anything). Each parcel is given out with wrapping paper, gift tags and cellotape as it’s important to us that the parents/carers can have the dignity of wrapping their own children’s gifts. The parents are given items in gift bags, so they also have something to enjoy and to make them feel important.

We worked again this year in partnership with local toy shops to encourage our community to shop locally at Christmas and were delighted to have the support of Meg & Milo, Timeless Toys, Whirligig and new this year was Dunelm in Shoreham whose Christmas tree tags were an enormous success!

On behalf of our school, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for the 10 Christmas parcels you so generously provided. The thoughtful and much-needed contents brought immense joy to our families, who are already sharing their gratitude and appreciation with us. Your kindness has made a real difference, and we are so grateful for your ongoing support.

Gillian Foan, St Joseph’s C of E Primary school

Approximately 18,000 brand new items were gifted in total, which we estimate to have a retail value of around £50,000!

“Thank you so much for the presents you have gifted to the families I work with. It’s lovely that there such thought is put into them and that families can see that they are valued. Gifts for parents is so thoughtful.”

Lesley Lewis, Family Hub Keyworker

“Thank you, thank you very much! My sons really liked the Eid gifts they received. They spent hours playing with the toys and looking at the books”

Play and Learn Project

We work with six Council nurseries supplying books on a monthly basis that children can take home and keep. This helps ensure pre-school children have access to books at home to stimulate their learning and development.

It’s estimated that approximately 1 million children do not have a single book of their own at home and children who receive free school meals are twice to be in this category.

One nursery has been able to set up a lending library area with our books and is encouraging children to regularly take books home.

books were given to nurseries supporting approximately 139 children

Trustees

Pelican Parcels is overseen by 6 Trustees each with a specialism;

l Shelley Bennett (Leadership, Strategy, Partnerships and Operations) l James Bennett (Chair, Governance/Risk)

l Carla Pannett (Fundraising)

l Lucy Stone (Trusts and Foundations fundraising) resigned 26.09.25

l Sarah Mann (Operations and Safeguarding)

l Debby Norris (Treasurer)

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the strategic direction of the charity and meets quarterly to review progress, plus a strategic away day, to ensure the charity is on track to meet its objectives and to consider the future direction for the charity. Different Trustees will also meet to discuss and plan fundraising, operations, governance and risk matters to ensure the charity is properly controlled and managed, both operationally and financially.

All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no financial benefits from the charity.

Recruitment of new trustees involves a skills gap analysis to ensure necessary areas of expertise are covered. In the event of skillset being reduced due to retirement or resignation, individuals are approached to offer their expertise, or an advertisement would be placed across local community boards and platforms, as well as on our own social media channels.

New trustees are then inducted via a tour and introduction to our operations as well as being provided with relevant printed materials to cover:

l The obligations of Management Committee members.

l The operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles. l Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts. l Our current business plan including future plans and objectives.

Staff team and volunteers

In 2024-25 our small team of part-time staff doubled from 2 to 4 with another addition imminent.

Our Head of Operations Elaine Bailey leads work within the warehouse to manage and deliver our projects is now supported by an Operations Coordinator Lucy Prudden.

Our Administrator Donna Hall focuses on managing our referrals and communicating with our partners.

Our Volunteer Coordinator Hannah Woodin helps support and grow our roster of volunteers and develop our volunteering programme.

We recruited our first Fundraising Manager (who will start next financial year) who will support the trustees who are currently responsible for all fundraising activity.

We also supported an Operations Internship through the summer providing 300 hours of work to a University of Sussex business student to support our school uniform programme. This position was funded by the University of Sussex.

Our dedicated 33 regular volunteers and 6 trustees are the beating heart of Pelican Parcels and an essential part of the charity. The charity simply couldn’t function without this collective effort, our volunteers absolutely being at the very centre of everything we do.

At Pelican Parcels we aim to provide an excellent volunteering experience for everyone and are proud to see our team enjoying their time and giving their best for our families. The work in the warehouse ranges from safety checking equipment, washing and cleaning, sifting and sorting donations, to making pre-made packs of clothing and other items to fulfilling referral orders. We also have volunteers supporting as delivery drivers and in administrative roles helping with graphic design and social media.

“It was really great to connect with my colleagues whilst doing something worthwhile and supporting the local community”

Vanessa, Bupa volunteer

Across the 12 months of 2024 our volunteers gave 6501 volunteer hours which saw 5,900 people supported. Almost every hour given means another parcel distributed!

“

I can spend a few hours at the warehouse and feel I have actually achieved something worthwhile. Where that be sorting through donations or assisting with packs to go to families. There is always a great atmosphere at Pelican. The team and fun to ‘work’ with and are supportive of each other. ” Jenny, Pelican Parcels Volunteer

Students have also been a key part of the collective this year with groups from LSV Hassocks and Ardingly College coming into the warehouse to help as well as children from Brighton College running community collections and decorating Christmas and Eid bags for our families.

We are also proud to have worked again this year with Team Domenica charity to provide volunteering opportunities for their young people with learning disabilities and have now hosted six candidates since the partnership began. In total students in 2024 contributed 102 hours.

We also work with Brighton Housing Trust to support those who have experienced homelessness to volunteer and gain valuable experience to support their return to work.

Our corporate volunteering days have been a huge success this year and we’ve been delighted to welcome teams from a wide range of local companies who come with lots of energy to experience our work for a single day. This extra volunteer manpower enables us to get extra cleaning and sorting done whilst providing a lovely team building experience. In 2024 corporate volunteers contributed 216 hours to Pelican Parcels’ output.

“ At Pelican we speak a lot about working to build the community that we want to live in and be part of, about giving people dignity and about showing people they matter by the care and attention we put into parcels. I’m so very proud of the work that we’re doing and love being a part of this extraordinary team.” Shelley, Co-Founder and Trustee

Pelican Parcels has been fortunate to continue to receive generous financial support in securing a mix of private donations, corporate sponsors and grant funders. We have raised the full amount of the planned budget and further built our reserves to support our planned expenditure with staff and

We ran a successful Crowdfunder campaign this year to support the development of our individual giving, business connections and profile. This was match funded by Homity Trust, Enjoolata Foundation and Ernest Kleinwart Charitable Trust and was successful in raising over £42k.

We have been pleased to also develop our multi-year funding from a number of Trusts and Foundations plus one off grants from the trusts listed below.

We received a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund Cost of Living fund and also continued to receive Household Support Grant funding from Brighton & Hove City Council.

In order to remain resilient and grow, we will continue to focus energy on a spread of fundraising .

Key expenditure for the charity includes the premises costs, utilities, salaries, insurances and new/ replacement items for families all of which currently are growing in line with income.

Pelican Parcels is a member of the Fundraising Regulator and we understand our duty to protect vulnerable people, people’s privacy and to not engage in intrusive methods of fundraising.

Pelican Parcels has assessed the risks and opportunities of the year ahead, and based on these factors, the Trustees approved our reserves policy to hold £70,000 based on 3 months’ costs. The policy will be approved annually, taking into consideration any new risks or opportunities.

Notwithstanding this position, at the year end 24/25 in the accounts show reserves at £225,011. This material increase in reserves is to help ensure a secure financial position for moving premises (in April 2025) and recruiting more staff. The new building is three times the rent of our current premises. Consequently, the charity needs sufficient budget to complete a move, whilst also allowing for any emergency unforeseen expenditure, given we will take on a liability for the building. Some of the additional reserves will then be allocated for this contingency, with a designated £50,000 towards the move and associated costs.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that financial statements are compliant.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

l Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
l Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
l Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
l State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
l Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

l There is no relevant information of which the charity’s independent examiner is unaware.
l The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Trustees’ annual report has been approved by the Trustees on 05 December 2025 and signed on their behalf by

These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. They are valued at cost. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Donated goods are valued at the market value on the day of transfer. Income is recorded as a donation and a corresponding cost is applied to match against this figure. There were no items donated which were new in this financial year. All donated goods are used items, clothing and products, whose market value is nil at the point of transfer. An estimated cost based on website market prices for similar goods and items has been assigned where applicable based on the condition of the item donated. Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. ND LIABILITIES Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Pelican Parcels (Charitable Incorporated Organisationnumber 1179866)

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Pelican Parcels (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011(‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements 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 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the company’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 the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
(2) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
(3) 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.

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.
