1. Welcome from our Chair
I could spend my time here writing about the impact the cost-of-living crisis is having on our clients and our charity. However, by now, we are all well read on the subject.
As I sit, thinking about what to say in our fourth annual report and accounts, I am feeling grateful.
We first started supporting clients in early 2020 and became a charity in May 2020. As such we very much ran in crisis mode for our first few years (thanks to a pandemic that feels a lifetime ago). However, under the thoughtful leadership of our Head of Operations, Kelly Fort, we have now transitioned from a hand-tomouth organisation to a growing charity with financial stability, three employees, three warehouses and an improved referral system.
None of this could have been achieved without our hardworking team of staff, volunteers, donors, supporters, and funders, who include private individuals, companies, and trusts and foundations. It is very humbling for our co-founders to have developed a service that has such a great impact on those we help, and that a whole community has gotten behind us and helped us grow.
One of the most common things people do when they give us donations is to thank us for the opportunity to do some good. But we are grateful for you. Thank you for your unwavering support and we look forward to continuing our journey with you.

2. Welcome from our Head of Operations
As a baby bank that supports children up to 5 years old, the niggle we often have is, “how do older siblings feel, when lots of new stuff turns up for their brothers and sisters, and nothing for them?”. So, we have always tried to provide something, whether clothes, books, toys, stationery or toiletries to any siblings within the families referred to us. In 2023, I’m delighted to report we supported every single sibling with a full bundle of lots of lovely things, just for them.
In 2023 we supported 2,677 people including 1,519 children and 917 families, a 22% increase versus the level of people supported in the period of our last set of financial statements (1,643 people in the period 1 April to 31 December 2022).
We guided 85 teenagers through their transition to motherhood with a continuation of our NHS project. This project is incredibly important to us as we work with midwives to establish trust among young women who would otherwise be alienated from the services available to support them and their newborns.
Another area where we have an important impact is sustainability - which is a huge benefit that goes hand-in-hand with distributing good quality preloved items to those who need them. The “as new” value of pre-loved donations given to our families last year was an incredible £809,854. These vital items are otherwise unattainable and keep children safe while redressing the impact poverty has on them. And of course, these gently used items are being repurposed instead of being discarded.
Looking ahead, we are committed to building our success and finding ways to support even more families. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of the children and families we serve.

3. Who we are and what we do
MammaKind is dedicated to preventing and relieving poverty among socially and economically disadvantaged families who struggle to provide the basic necessities for their young children. We focus on supporting mums with children up to five years old by providing essential items such as cots, high chairs, clothing, and toys.
Based in Southeast London, MammaKind operates as a baby bank that collects both pre-loved and new donations of clothing, toiletries, and equipment. As the austerity crisis deepens, more parents than ever before are finding it difficult to afford basic supplies for their children. We are committed to supporting women and their families across Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, and Lewisham.
Our work is made possible through two main warehouses located in Lewisham and Greenwich, where we collect, sort, and package donations for distribution to those in need. Our extensive network includes 114 professionals from over 45 partner organisations, including children’s centres, midwives, NHS workers, and various charities and support organisations. We are proud to collaborate closely with The Salvation Army in Lewisham and St Alfege Church in Greenwich, who assist us with warehousing, logistics, and service provision.
We are especially proud of the care and attention we put into choosing, packaging, and tailoring the items we provide to each family. Our partners consistently praise the personalised approach we take in meeting the specific needs of each family and the short time we take to support them.
In a recent sample survey of our clients, 100% said we had met their needs and improved their wellbeing, demonstrating the importance of our work and the positive impact we have on the families we serve.

4. Our achievements and performance
In 2023, we made a real difference to the lives of the families we support. Every book, toy, and essential item we provide not only shows these families that someone cares, but also helps give every child an equitable chance to build a successful future.
We gave out 3,192 books to 1,064 kids, sparking a love for reading and learning. For the littlest ones, we made sure 429 baby books found their way to newborns, so they could start life with stories to inspire them.
Toys bring joy and development, so we were thrilled to gift 5,615 toys this year. Children under 2 years old received 4 toys and the rest received 5 toys. For those who had none, we made sure they got extra - 227 children under 2 years old and 59 older kids, each got 3 additional toys to brighten their world. But it wasn’t just about the fun stuff - we made sure essential needs were met too. We handed out 2,158 packs of nappies, with 170 going to teen mums via our NHS project, giving them one less thing to worry about. And because we know how much these mums give to their kids, we teamed up with Beauty Banks, Hygiene Banks, and Space NK in Blackheath to gift 714 beauty packages. These weren’t just products; they were a way to remind these amazing women that they matter too.
Health and well-being were a big focus, so we provided 1,949 hygiene bundles to keep families clean and healthy. We also made sure that 165 prams were available so mums could safely take their babies to health appointments and activities. And because every child deserves a good night’s sleep, we distributed 117 beds with new mattresses.
As the seasons changed, we kept kids warm with 1,856 coats and 1,676 pairs of shoes so they could step out confidently, whatever the weather.

4. Our achievements and performance (continued)
This year, we strengthened our infrastructure to help us to better serve our community by recruiting our third member of staff and implementing a new customer relationship management system. These changes significantly improve our efficiency and capacity when supporting families.
We couldn’t have done any of this without our committed team of 32 volunteers and 114 individual referral partners.
One of the highlights of the year was bringing Christmas cheer to 203 families. 467 children received a brand new main toy, stocking fillers, stationery and selection boxes making the holiday season a little brighter. We were also able to provide brand new gifts to 203 mums and 52 dads.
All in all, the total value of everything we gave out in 2023 came to £834,052. That’s a big number, but what really matters is the impact it had on the families we helped.

Set out on pages 9-10
(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
- My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my examiner's statement attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2023
1. Accounting policies
Charity information
Mammakind is an incorporated Charity governed by a Constitution adopted on 22[nd] May 2020. The Charity was registered at the Charity Commission on 22 May 2021 under number 1189620.
The Charity is not politically aligned.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared to accordance with the charity’s (governing document), the Charities Act 2011 and “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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true fair view. The departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities which is referred to in the Regulations but which has been since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies are set out below.

MAMMAKIND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2023
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.2 Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is possible that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. All of these by the way turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Cost of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:
Fixtures and fittings
Gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income divided by (expenditure) for the period.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amount of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2023
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held with banks, other short term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, including debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financials assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, included including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2023
2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions are about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates’ underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision effects both current and future periods.

The charity changed its policy for valuing donated goods for 2023, using a cost based on the second hand value that would have been charged in an arm’s length transaction. The policy in prior years for valuing donated goods was to use a cost based on the new value.
As regards the value of donated facilities and services, the charity benefits substantially from the time and skills provided by its volunteers. As the value of this cannot be reliably estimated this is not recorded in the accounts, however the contribution of volunteers is outlined in the annual report.
