GIVE FOOD

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2020

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

GIVE FOOD ('the Charity') is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation and is therefore governed by its constitution. The members of the CIO shall be its Charity trustees for the time being. The only persons eligible to be members of the CIO are its Charity trustees. Membership of the CIO cannot be transferred to anyone else. Any member and Charity trustee who ceases to be a Charity trustee automatically ceases to be a member of the CIO. Eligibility for membership of the Charity and membership of the board of trustees is governed by the Charity’s constitution.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are appointed according to their relevant skills, knowledge and experience and based on the current operational climate and needs. Quality, characteristics and qualifications are essential when selecting members of the board of the trustees

Organisational structure

At the initial stage the trustees manage all aspects of the work including fundraising, finance and general management.

Induction and training of trustees

All the trustees are introduced to their new role upon their appointment. A copy of the governing document, policies and procedures are also provided. This also includes an explanation of the function of the board of trustees. Besides this, all trustees are recommended to take part in different structured training courses.

Risk management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

Objectives and activities

Objectives and aims

The objectives of the CIO are to support food banks around the country. This is done by using technology to identify what is needed at food banks, distributing this information and also making our own deliveries.

Significant activities

The Charity started bulk purchasing disposable food-safe gloves. This proved to be a quick, costeffective, and straightforward way to help food banks protect their volunteers and emergency food recipients.

The Charity used 27 different PPE suppliers around the country and also received a donation of gloves from Independent Food Aid Network (IFAN). In addition to this 100,000 face masks were donated by a Chinese company and imported directly from China. This was facilitated by a trade organisation who did translations and engaged the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to ensure smooth transit.

The Charity repackaged and delivered over a million items of PPE (around 2.7 tonnes, in 1,421 parcels) to help 815 food bank organisations, covering many locations across the United Kingdom.

Achievements and performance

Form a Charity to manage the organisation

The Charity was accepted to become a registered Charity, in England & Wales, on 26th February 2020.

Reach out to more independent food banks

Networked food banks are easy to find, but independent ones are difficult to find. The Charity tried discovering these often small & local (but nonetheless important) organisations. Many independent food banks reached out to the Charity in order to be included in the database. The Charity found 835 food bank locations that are not part of the Trussell Trust or IFAN.

Publish our technology and data

The Charity maintains the largest public database of UK food banks - currently covering 2,329 locations. In addition, the Charity analyse these food bank's websites to find what they are requesting to have donated. The Charity's software indexed what food banks require 2.82m times (up from 2.11m in 2019) in 2020, downloading and parsing over 3.7 TB of data.

The Charity built and deployed a widget for the Trussell Trust's website (UK's largest food bank network, covering over 1,200 locations), that allows them to show what food banks are requesting. This regularly receives large amounts of traffic, due to Trussell Trust social media and celebrity mentions.

The Charity started supplying data to Reach PLC (formerly Mirror Group). They re-publish the information in widgets that allow the users of their websites and "In Your Area app" to see food banks near them and what they are requesting.

Financial review

Principle funding sources

During the year, the Charity received unrestricted income of £38,321. Majority of the funds were used to purchase PPE equipment to be distributed to volunteers at the food banks.

The organisation has guaranteed income, by the way of the donations of the trustees.

Reserves policy

For the reporting period, the Charity did not open any lines of credit and the majority of expenditure was funded by one of the Trustees, Jason Cartwright. Consequently, for the reporting period in question there was only a nominal requirement to hold reserves.

30/06/2021 The trustees' annual report was approved on .............................. and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Mr. J Cartwright Trustee

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of GIVE FOOD

Year ended 31 August 2020

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of GIVE FOOD ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2020.

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 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 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 accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Year ended 31 August 2020

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
