The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. The objects of the CIO are for the public benefit: - To prevent or relieve poverty in the area of Wandsworth, in particular by the provision of food and services to individuals who are in need, and to other charities or non-profit organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. - To contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment, in particular through the promotion of waste reduction, re-use, reclamation, recycling, use of recycled products and the use of surplus. This report integrates the achievements and activities of Waste Not Want Not Battersea (WNWNB) for the year, along with significant environmental impact data drawn from our recent Eco Audit. The charity continues to focus on addressing food poverty while making strides in sustainability and environmental conservation. ## **Activities and Achievements** Founded in 2017, Waste Not Want Not Battersea (WNWNB) collects surplus produce from markets and retailers, distributing it through local community and youth centres. It prevents around 750-1000kg of food waste weekly, reaching those most at risk of food poverty. ## **Key activities this year included:** - Food sharing sessions: 460 sessions, benefiting 45-60 individuals per session. - Community Engagement: Organized events such as candle making workshops, bike repair initiatives, and gardening sessions for expelled children. - Zero Waste Food Hub Renovation: Completed a year-long renovation of the community space, including a new public-access wet room. ## **Eco-Impact Highlights from the 2023/24 Eco Audit** Waste Not Want Not Battersea’s operations contribute significantly to environmental sustainability. Key achievements include: - CO2 Savings: A net reduction of 106.83 tons of CO2 emissions, saving over 22 times the emissions generated by its operations, equivalent to the energy usage of 222 homes annually. - Food Recovery Impact: Prevented 193,915 servings of food from going to waste, including 21,684 servings of meat (67.51 tons CO2 saved), 172,231 vegetarian portions (27.12 tons CO2 saved), and 5,980 litres of milk (17.01 tons CO2 saved). - Recycling Rate: Achieved a 56% recycling rate, surpassing the national average by over a quarter. 3 **WASTE NOT WANT NOT BATTERSEA** **TRUSTEES' REPORT** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2024 ## **Sustainability Goals** The charity is committed to expanding its environmental responsibility through: - Transitioning to carbon-free heating systems. - Exploring cargo bike solutions to replace diesel vans. - Enhancing waste auditing and recycling practices. - Investigating solar energy potential for operational efficiency. ## **Volunteers** We would like to take this opportunity to thank all more than 200 volunteers who have supported us so we can keep continuing to provide a service of excellence to our society. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** **Name of Charity:** WASTE NOT WANT NOT BATTERSEA **Charity registration number:** 1187801 **Principal address** 9-10 Bramlands Close London SW11 2NT ## **Trustees** The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: - _Oliver James Whitworth Smallwood_ - _Elizabeth Oddono_ - _Robert George Musgrave MBE_ - _Rev Ruth Turner_ - _Katrina Charleston_ - _Robert Dakin_ ## **Independent examiners** SJPR Accountants Ltd 225 Clapham Road London SW9 9BE Approved by the Board of Trustees and signed on its behalf by .............................................................................. Katrina Charleston 4 **WASTE NOT WANT NOT BATTERSEA** **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2024 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2024. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiners statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 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. ...............................................................................
