DORCHESTER FAMILY SUPPORT REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1188567 REGISTERED ADDRESS Dorford Centre Bridport Road Dorchester, Dorset DT1 1RR
ANNUAL REPORT 2021-22
OBJECTIVES
Dorchester Family Support (DFS) was formed to support families with children on pupil premium (free schools meals) with food parcels during the Summer and Christmas School Holidays. DFS registered as a charity in March 2020.
ACTIVITIES DURING 2021-2022
In Summer 2021 we distributed parcels for each of four weeks to around 200 families representing 400 children.
At Christmas 2021 we distributed around 200 parcels together with a cash gift.
RESERVE POLICY
In general terms reserves will be limited to six months income. It is difficult to control the reserves as grant applications are made before the exact expenditure is known and the expenditure is in two main blocks each year. In addition the demand each year has increased significantly.Reserves currently exceed six months income but this is significantly a result of around £6000 received in 2021-22 but earmarked for 2022-3
INVESTMENT
As income is expected to be spent fairly quickly the money is held with a bank account at CAF and no further investments exist or are planned.
INSURANCE
Insurance cover has been arranged with Ansvar Insurance and includes Public Liability.
RISK ASSESSMENTS
These are carried out prior to each event involving the distributing of parcels.
INCOME
Principally from grant making organisations, churches and public donations.
EXPENDITURE
Principally on the provision of food

Policies have been produced covering Safeguarding, Child Protection, Volunteer Code of Conduct, Complaints, Data Protection, Data Retention, Equal Opportunities, Health & Safety, Trustee Code of Conduct, Whistleblowing, Volunteer,Financial Management.
