Annual Report for, Prestatyn and Meliden Foodbank Prestatyn. 1190053 April 2024

The trustees submit this annual report for the period 5/4/2023. To 5/4/24

There have been changes to the board of Trustees they are ……… Mr Geoff Fanning and Mrs Jill Fanning. Have stepped down to pursue other voluntary work.

Mr David Watson, Mrs Susan Pierce, Mrs Heather Norris, remain the same and have been joined by 3 new trustees…… Mr Robert Murray Mr Des Williams and Mrs Carol Williams.

The Accounts having been agreed by an independent accountant and all trustees have been submitted with this report.

The charity continues to run out of the festival church there has been no charges made for either rent or utilities.

However, the storage facility based in Meliden does cost the foodbank with monthly lease payments and full utilities. We have seen our energy costs increase this financial year but are now expecting them to drop again.

This year we have seen our community debt advice centre successfully running alongside our foodbank, community shop and café, this service has grown as the year has progressed, many clients and members, service users access advice and support.

Other organizations and charities have been in to support alongside all that is already happening.

These have included Benefits Advice Shop, Warm Wales, Tech Support, Mind, blood pressure health checks as well as others.

Our Aims have always been to reach as many households experiencing food poverty as possible through referrals from any statutory or volunteer agencies who engage with us. This year we have developed all our previous aims to include,

We also aim to engage with the local community to encourage donations of both food and financial donations.

All the local supermarkets engage with us, we receive deliveries from Fareshare Merseyside twice a week, this is all surplus foods as we are passionate about lessoning food waste.

We continue to support refugees and all other groups of the community without prejudice.

We have continued to promote all other agencies to help those individuals and families that we regularly engage with.

Referrals year on year continue to rise and the present economic crisis has not helped.

This is the third year to have been a challenge, even after the pandemic and all its issues this economic crisis has required us to concentrate more on grant applications to stay afloat as the public are donating less, receiving seven Grants this past year.

Christmas 2023 we provided an extensive programme providing food and toys to those who engaged with us for that support. We were able to reach over 300 families. We also ran a Christmas club enabling our members to pay a small amount each week leading up to Christmas this enabled us to purchase at cost price and our members to access a Fareshare shop. Hopefully to meet all their food and treat needs for some of the holiday period.

This included fresh meat and Vegetables, milk, eggs, bread, sweets and much more.

We have seen the parent and toddler group set up along side foodbank on a Tuesday this is being run by a Church based Volunteer we support those parents attending where we can.

We now see numbers attending up to 150 weekly and Thursdays are very busy indeed with opportunity for anyone to stay from 10am to 3pm if they so wish, coffee and tea is free, a warm space to relax available to all.

Future

To increase provision to address loneliness hopefully opening the Café 5 days a week.

To engage with more support agencies encouraging them to set up at our venue.

To provide eat well for less cookery classes.

This annual report has been read and accepted as a true refecton of our service by……
