Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2025

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, 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 objective of the CIO is 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 its own deliveries.

We run the largest and most complete public database of UK food banks and scrape their websites for what they are requesting in real time.

Achievements and performance

Summary

AI & data

We maintain the only national database of food banks, continuously improving how we find and manage our open data - often with the use of AI. We now index 3,109 locations (up from 2,916 last year, and 2,787 in 2023) plus over 7,600 donation points.Our rich dataset contains photos, accessibility information and opening hours plus contact information like phone numbers, email addresses and social media.

This year we also added registration and governance information, plus financial data for food banks that are charities registered in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Additionally our data now contains food banks within schools, mobile food banks, and shows service areas for deliveries reflecting the diverse outlets food banks have evolved to use since the pandemic.

With the use of human-led AI data checking, we now guarantee our data to be accurate within 90 days of any change. We used AI to read and understand around two billion words during 2025, the equivalent to reading the bible seven times a day.

Translations

Our website is now available in all 20 languages with more than 100,000 speakers in the UK. They are...

���������ﺔ ﺍﻟﻌﺭﺑﻳ ,বাংল◌ા,Български, Português, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ

Apps

In 2025 Give Food launched mobile apps on iOS and Android.

These quick and easy to navigate native applications can be used to find local food banks and what they need, plus get notifications on food bank shopping list changes.

The apps also support notifying you of a food bank’s shopping list when you are near one of their donation points. This is particularly useful at the thousands of supermarkets which act as donation points for food banks.

Financial review

Principle funding sources

During the year, the Charity received unrestricted income of 7,842. The majority of the funds were used to purchase food to be distributed to volunteers at the food banks and for annual compliance costs.

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

Reserves policy

For the reporting period, the Charity has no fixed operational spending obligations. Therefore, there was only a nominal requirement to hold reserves for the reporting period. Nevertheless, throughout the year the Charity has maintained reserves of no less than £7,000 to respond to needs as they arise.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of GIVE FOOD

Year ended 31 August 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of GIVE FOOD ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2025.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2025

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.
