TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The trustees have the pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The relief of financial hardship amongst people in Derby and the surrounding area aged 16 and above, in such ways as the trustees from time to time think fit, in particular, but not exclusively by:

SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS

In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

We set up a food bank once a week on Saturdays for people in need. On all other days in the week, we put out food essentials such as bread, vegetables and fruit which we have donated to us and collect from supermarkets such as Sainsburys, Asda, Morrisons, CO-OP, Aldi, Lidl, Birds and also Greggs sandwich shops. We set a table up for people to come along and take what they need for their families. We pay a membership fee to Fareshare Midlands to collect approx 480kg worth of food on a weekly basis to run the food bank and this costs around £10,000 per year. We also run a separate food parcel service which was by professional referral only. Referrals came from schools, Derby City Council, support workers, social services, probation officers and doctors.

Based on average numbers of people that used our service we have estimated that we have supplied more than 10,000 food parcels during the year of 2023.

We now have over 500 members signed up to use the food bank on a regular basis. No membership is needed to use the service for extra donations received in the week people can just come along and take what they need.

We set up a street kitchen every Tuesday evening in Derby city centre seeing on average around 60 to 80 people each night we were out. We have food donated from Harvey Road fish bar, Kedleston Road chip shop, volunteers cook, volunteers make sandwiches, donations from Greggs, along with hot and cold drinks. We also take out essential items such as sleeping bags, clothing, and toiletries.
