A network consisting of health visitors,<br>social workers, and other community-based<br>support workers, refer people to the Foodbank<br>centre where people collect food and toiletries.<br>Other services are also available to help them out<br>of their crisis. To clients in rural areas or those<br>unable to reach us, we deliver. Each person<br>receives enough nutritionally balanced food for at<br>least three days. This process directly helps<br>members of the public in crisis.<br>Food is collected from donors, mainly at<br>supermarkets, churches and through local groups.<br>Money is also donated by the public to cover<br>administrative costs and, increasingly in the last<br>year, to purchase food when items run short. Food<br>is seen as a catalyst for change: providing<br>emergency food immediately meets a crisis with<br>practical help. However, we also work closely with<br>Care Professionals and other agencies to look at<br>longer-term strategies and to identify those in<br>crisis, provide greater support and ensure the<br>public's donations only go to those really in need.|

|Contribution made by<br>volunteers|Para<br>1.38|We have a small, employed team, led by Sharon<br>Sissons, our Strategic Manager, who mainly deal<br>with clients in the Liskeard office. Otherwise, the<br>overwhelming majority of those who work for the<br>Foodbank do so on a voluntary basis. They<br>undertake roles in every area of operations, from<br>‘face to face’ meetings with clients, delivering<br>goods, collecting and receiving donations and<br>working in our warehouse. Without this voluntary<br>work, the Foodbank could not operate on the scale<br>it does.|

|Summary of the<br>main<br>achievements of<br>the charity,<br>identifying the<br>difference the<br>charity’s work has<br>made to the<br>circumstances of<br>its beneficiaries<br>and any wider<br>benefits to society<br>as a whole.|Para<br>1.20|We cover a wide but only informally defined area with<br>Liskeard at its centre – from Torpoint (where we opened a<br>satellite office in 2023) in the east to the Fowey estuary in<br>the west, from Looe on the south coast to Bodmin Moor to<br>the north. It is a largely rural area of at least 500 sq miles.<br>Liskeard is the largest town with a population of just over<br>10,000, Torpoint has c7,000, Looe c5,000. Given that, the<br>total population of the area we service is presumably<br>c50,000.<br>That is the backdrop to the table below which shows the<br>number of referrals we have received in the last 4 years –<br>just over 4,000 in the last two years. It shows a c50% rise in<br>referrals in the spring of 2022 when the cost of living and<br>fuel prices rises took hold: in response, in that year we<br>relocated into separate and larger office and warehouse<br>premises. However, as the table shows, despite government<br>assistance to households and the subsequent falls in both<br>inflation and fuel prices, the demand for our services did not<br>fall in 2023.<br>**Vouchers**<br>**Fulflled**<br>**Adults**<br>**Helped**<br>**Children**<br>**Helped**<br>**Total**<br>**Helped**<br>**2020**<br>1601<br>1871<br>998<br>2869<br>**2021**<br>1136<br>1694<br>1095<br>2789<br>**2022**<br>1292<br>2372<br>1752<br>4124<br>**2023**<br>1681<br>2566<br>1507<br>4073|





Just as the area we service is wide, so our clients are referred to us from a wide range of agencies - 151 separate Referral Agencies made referrals to us in 2023. The 3 largest (listed below) accounted for 970 or 58% of all vouchers fulfilled. The third largest Agency (We Are With You) made over 3 times are many referrals as the 4[th] : indeed, the top 10 referring agencies still only accounted for 1168 of all vouchers (69%). 54 (so over a third of all) Agencies made just 1 referral in the year.

Low income is the most common reason people are referred to us for help, whether that is low wages or benefits or a combination of both. The other reasons people are referred to us are debt, homelessness, domestic abuse, benefit changes and sickness/ill health. 

We operated a 'delivery only' model during the pandemic, but now ask our clients to collect from us if they can, as they did pre-pandemic. We do continue to deliver to those clients that have either physical or mental health issues or those who, given our rural area, do not have the use of a car as many of our villages are not on a bus route to Liskeard or Torpoint. Having most clients attend our offices now allows us to talk to them and guide them towards support from other agencies. In our main Liskeard offices, we offer clients a warm welcome in a cafe style room. We can offer tea or coffee while we sit and talk to clients to establish what further help we can guide them to. We have a team trained to help offer a free benefit check online, using the Turn2us website, making sure our clients aren't missing out on income they are entitled to and which could alleviate their need to turn to the foodbank. Whilst not recorded numerically, we have had notable success in doing this, saving or providing people with access to hundreds and, on occasions, thousands of pounds of support they were not getting. 

In 2024 (so not directly relevant to this 2023 Return but still worth mentioning), we have altered our model in two ways. 

- Alongside providing a variety of food as suggested by the Trussell Trust, we have begun offering Meal Bags – bags containing the ingredients and the recipe for preparing simple meals – with the aim of giving clients both a greater skill-set and a sense of independence and self-respect. 

- We are also moving away from providing a ‘one size fits all’ range of food to allowing those who attend our Liskeard offices to choose their own food from the 



range we stock, again with the same aims. Both these systems have been operated successfully at other foodbanks in the West Country which we have liaised with and visited: they have also been well-received by our clients. Also in 2024, with the support of the Bennelong Foundation, we have employed someone to work full time on our school’s engagement project. As a result, we have received very positive feedback and the number of families we supported over the 2024 summer break has more than doubled from its number in 2023. We also continue to provide one-off support at specific times of the year, notably Christmas and Easter, to families nominated by local schools. We also periodically supply food to some schools’ Breakfast Clubs. Finally, in 2024 we have begun a Rural Project, going out to some of the more remote villages on a weekly or fortnightly basis to try and reach those who cannot easily come to us in Liskeard.

|<br>Achievements<br>against objectives<br>set|<br>Para<br>1.41|<br>As a Foodbank, our objective is simply to help people in<br>crisis. It would be wrong to expect or hope that we will ever<br>achieve our objective – plainly, in our ideal world we would<br>have no role.|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of<br>fundraising activities<br>against objectives<br>set|Para<br>1.41|We undertake a range of activities to raise either funds or,<br>more often, donations of food and other goods – as well as<br>raise awareness. For example, we periodically man a stand<br>for a week at our principle, local supermarket, Morrisons in<br>Liskeard, but we are also lucky enough to be a chosen<br>charity for some local events such as the Cornish Marathon<br>which takes place each Autumn and the Duloe Cider and Ale<br>Festival (September).<br>Our objective is obviously to not only raise as much as we<br>can but to raise our profile to encourage donations at other<br>times. To that end we also work to encourage support for the<br>Foodbank by engaging with the local media, politicians,<br>business and community groups. We have accounts with<br>Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to keep clients and donors<br>up to date with our news. Indeed, having an online presence<br>is proving vital: whilst overall donations by individuals has<br>fallen in the first half of 2024, it is rising online.<br>We are grateful for all the help we receive from our<br>supporters and volunteers, without whom we could not do<br>what we do.|
|Investment<br>performance against<br>objectives|Para<br>1.41|Not Applicable. We have no profit motive – other than we aim<br>to remain solvent and to help as many people as we can, we<br>have no obvious financial objectives.|
|Other||As measured by weight, in 2023 we continued to roughly<br>balance the amounts of stock we receive (almost all donated)<br>and give out to clients. However, the signs are that in 2024|

This next table shows that in 2023 we saw a marked fall in donations from individuals which we had to compensate for by buying in stock – it is a trend that has accelerated in 2024. However, bear in mind that even the food donated by ‘Supermarkets’ and ‘Churches’ represents food that has been purchased or donated by an individual: we are almost entirely reliant on the generosity of our local community for the food we supply.

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Par<br>a<br>1.21|Whilst financially sound at the end of 2023, as will<br>become clear the signs in 2024 are that the Trust is<br>now operating at a loss and, sadly, faces material<br>and growing financial risks.|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Par<br>a<br>1.22|Reserves are held to ensure we are able to continue<br>to provide our vital support to what is proving a still<br>growing number of people. Reserves are split<br>between those allocated for specific projects (all<br>being funds donated by outside bodies, notably the<br>Trussell Trust) and unallocated funds. However,<br>within unallocated funds we have designated funds<br>for specific potential costs (eg, food loss, warehouse<br>upkeep, van replacement).|

|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Par<br>a<br>1.23|<br>Whilst superficially the Trust appears to be in<br>sound financial health, 2024 is already seeing<br>our losses rising. A continued fall in donations<br>of cash and rising costs have led in January-<br>June 2024 to the Trust’s losing £21,772<br>compared to a loss of £1,990 in the same<br>period in 2023.<br><br>Para 1.46 below outlines the specific, possible<br>risk that a legal action by a former employee<br>would present:  if successful, this claim would<br>present a very large financial challenge to the<br>Trust and even the costs of a successful<br>defence alone now appear to represent the<br>equivalent of the current operating loss for a<br>6-month period.<br><br>Finally, the fall in donated food we saw last<br>year is accelerating this year which means<br>that there is a growing risk we will need to use<br>our financial reserves to purchase food to<br>distribute.|

||**3**<br>**1**<br>**1**<br>**2**<br>**2**<br>**3**|
||**13 - 17**|



## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act, and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- a) Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

- b) To follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and 

- c) To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.  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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1) The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or 

- 2) The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- 3) The accounts did 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 the 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.
