Objectives and Activities
Objectives and aims
The formal objectives of the company, as set out in the Memorandum of Association as amended by Special Resolution, revised and approved 27 June 2021 are:
‘The objects of the CIO are the relief of need amongst disadvantaged adults, children and young people for the public benefit but not exclusively, by the award of grants and provision of services which assist and support the development of children and young people, provide relief, support and opportunity to adults, including projects which undertake direct educational activity and food-based learning. for the purposes of this clause "disadvantaged" means persons who are disadvantaged due to poverty or financial hardship, ill health or deprived social circumstances.’
The Trustees believe that the most direct way the Charity could initially provide support to communities was to provide healthy, nutritious meals to those most in need through its umbrella ‘Feeding Communities’ programme
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the association’s aims and objectives. All activities have been in accordance with the revised aims and objectives that were approved by the Charity Commission in June 2021.
The Foundation now has an established base and has grown significantly throughout this operating year. Trustees are now actively seeking funding opportunities to further develop their key operations.
Contribution
The contribution of each member is limited to £1 in the event of a dissolution of the Company.

Achievement and Performance
Charitable activities
The Charity has enjoyed significant growth over the year and now delivers its objectives through five key support programmes. These have delivered 3,000,000 meals, some through partnership with 152 charities and utilising the services of volunteers approaching 800 in number.
Feeding Communities - Trustees believe everyone should have access to food, no questions asked. Feeding Communities uses Thomas Franks resources and expertise to produce made-up food parcels and freshly prepared meals in response to those in need, with no questions asked. This is the fundamental purpose underpinning all the activities of the Charity.
Beyond Education Being Human - This initiative has one vision: to help provide children and young adults with essential cooking and food-based life skills. Delivered through practical workshops by our skilled teams and the surplus food created is donated and delivered to local charities.
Feet up Fridays - The aim of Feet up Fridays is to provide support for unpaid carers, whose work is not only vital to our society, but which requires incomprehensible time, effort, and sacrifices.
We Grow You Grow - The aim of We Grow You Grow is simple, to educate children from an early age that we can nurture a healthy, positive mindset towards food usage and highlight how we can have control over our impact on the planet.
City Harvest - We have linked with City Harvest as a perfect fit for our Feeding Communities initiative. Their mission is to reduce food insecurity and protect the planet by diverting quality, nutritious, edible surplus food from waste and redistributing it to those facing food poverty.
City Harvest now regularly provide us with food that we consider ideal for converting into nutritionally balance and high-quality meals. Once produced, the meals are then returned to City Harvest for distribution amongst 375 charities.
Specific Grants - The Foundation has made a small number of specific grants to organisations engaged in food education, particularly involving young people. Examples are ‘FarmEd’ a charitable educational farming operation in Oxfordshire and The Food and Farming Trust based in Norfolk and the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation.
Financial Review
Income has reduced in the year, but the expenditure has been carefully managed resulting in a net surplus of £14,915 (2022: £7,260 loss) being generated. The year under review saw a shift towards some new projects which started towards the end of the period. The main project Feeding Communities has continued throughout the year and is a mainstay project of the charity. The charity delivered its millionth meal in the year and plan to expand their provision in the 2024 financial year. They have worked on partnering with more charities and also more businesses to provide the funds to continue the Charity’s work.
The Thomas Franks Foundation Limited Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2023
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risk of the Charity is the lack of funds to be able to continue to achieve the Charitable objectives. This is mitigated by the strong, long-standing relationships that the Trustees and volunteers of the Charity have with their main supporters and the constant work to do more fundraising through both sponsored activities and partnering with businesses who’s charitable objectives align with the Foundations.
The Trustees do not consider that there are any material uncertainties for the Foundation for the forthcoming year as all partners have committed to supporting the Foundation and funding has been secured for the grants and bursaries that the Foundation is committed to.
Reserves Policy
The Foundation’s aim to build up sufficient capital funds in reserve to permit it to conduct its activities as defined by the Governing Board for a period of two years in the absence of any income over this period. This is because the level of fundraising and donations are subject to factors which are not always in the control of the Foundation. At the end of the period under review, capital funds are £73,742, which is c.25% of the target. However, the business model is based on a ‘money in - money out’ principles.
Structure Governance and Management Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust. This was amended and approved in June 2021 to reflect the developed activities of the charity from its original foundation in September 2019.
Trustees are appointed based on the expertise considered necessary to the fulfilment of the Charitable objectives. They are approached by the Chair when there is an opportunity to replace a retiring trustee or when a skills gap is identified on the Board. The applicants are interviewed and the Board votes to elect a candidate to the Board.

Note 2 Accounting policies
2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
.
| Recognition of income 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. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 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 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. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Contractual income and performance related grants Donated goods Donated services and facilities 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. 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. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. 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. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. 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. 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. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described Volunteer help Income from interest, royalties and dividends in the trustees’ annual report. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membershipMembership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations subscriptions 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. |

Year ended 31 December 2023 Accounting policies (Continued)
| Settlement of insurance claims 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. Investment gains and losses 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. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition 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. Governance and support costs 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. 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. Grants with performance conditions 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. Grants payable without performance conditions 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. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities 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 Basic financial instruments 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. 2.4 ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for use by charity These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Intangible fixed assets 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. Heritage assets 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. Investments 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 |

Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2023
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Thomas Franks Foundation
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2023 which are set out on the enclosed pages
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records [; or
-
the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
