Pudsey Community Project

Year Ended 31[st] December 2022

Trustees’ Annual Report

The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report together with the consolidated financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 December 2022.

Objectives and Activities

The purposes of the charity are:

For the public benefit in Pudsey and its surrounding areas, the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or social disadvantage by the provision of a range of social and community engagement services delivered with a Christian ethos.

We achieve this through a range of services and groups which are delivered to people treated equally on the basis of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status or race.

– Our primary locality of work is Pudsey and its surrounding areas effectively the two council wards of Pudsey and Calverley & Farsley (including Pudsey, Calverley, Farsley, Swinnow, Tyersal, Rodley and Woodhall) but Reduce Reuse Kids’ Clothes operates wider and welcomes customers from across Leeds Metropolitan Borough Area.

Our vision and service provision is detailed below.

Financial Review:

There were many struggles for the Project during our first long financial year of operation, including setting up as a charity, operating under social distancing restrictions, supporting volunteers, and the mental health struggles of staff and volunteers.

Financially in 2020-21 we were artificially very positive in our finances because of an imbalance of income over – expenditure both because of grants and donations coming in that wouldn’t be spent until later, but also because of the closer working relationship with Pudsey Parish Church whose staff formed the first staff of the Project. In 2022 we have had a much more ‘normal’ year, and the staffing of the project has been internal, which means we have had a more closely balanced income and expenditure reflecting a move towards sustainable and regular operating post-covid. We have been successful in establishing funding streams from donations and grants which we are grateful for that will enable us to continue to operate with confidence, continue to employ much-needed staff to coordinate our volunteers, and to develop the charitable work of the Project including the many costs of inhabiting our dedicated charity building. We close the financial year with a healthy balance which will enable continued work as funding streams become more competitive and financial support becomes restricted in the continuing cost of living crisis.

Total fund held at the end of the December 2022:

Unrestricted 106,000 Restricted Funds 1,249 Total 107,249

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have a reserves policy of ideally a minimum of three months of running costs, aside from restricted funds.

Achievement and Performance:

Our Vision: Pudsey Community Project exists to transform Pudsey and its surrounding areas (an area of 20,000 households) with and for the local community, especially for those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged.

The following pages give an indication of the exciting work of the Project throughout 2022, as well as some indication of our hopes for 2023 and beyond.

Pudsey Community Project Year Ended 31 St December 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Pudsey Foodbank Pudsey Community Project is best known for our foodbank, which has been running since the beginning of Covid-19 and covers Pudsey and Calverley & Farsley council wards. We deliver food parcels 3 or 4 days a week (down from 6 in 2021) and can usually respond within 24 hours as needed. We currently have 33 volunteers involved in making up or delivering parcels and collecting some of our food donations. li We provide clients with 4 weeks of emergency food aid but our airn is to signpost people to support to prevent them from needing food parcels in the future. This year we have worked on building relationships with other local organisations to signpost more effectively and if our clients are needing longerterm support with food we invite them tojoin our community pantry. This has led to a decrease in demand for our foodbank, despite the cost of living crisis. Our foodbank is still necessary but our aim is always to reduce the number of people needing it as we are now able to offer long term sustainable food provision which gives people dignity and choice. Ourfood comes from Fareshare and Rethink Food, as well as local supermarkets and public donations. This year we have increased the number of businesses who have collection points for us and have established new ways of accessing low cost food and toiletries. We are really appreciative of all the local support we have received throughout the year. 935 food parcels delivered in 2022 (down from 1349 in 20211 100-150 individuals supported per month 37 households supported per month on average Pudsey Foodbank Plans for2023 To further develop our links in the community to ensure people know how to access our help or how they can support us To continue to provide emergency support while decreasing use of our foodbank and increasing use of our pantry

Pudsey Community Project Year Ended 31 St December 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Pudsey Community Pantry In 2022 household food insecurity in the UK doubled according to The Food Foundation. To address this we launched our community pantry, designed to provide longterm sustainable access to low cost food for people who are struggling with the cost of living. It was launched in June as parr of the Your Local Pantry franchise and is run by a tearn of 22 volunteers. Members pay £3.50 each time they shop and choose around £20 worth of food, saving approximately £800 a year. We get most of our food at low cost though Fareshare and Rethink Food and we buy in to fill the gaps. Our members tell us what items they would like to see in the pantry and provide feedback on how it is run, with 100% of those surveyed saying their experience was 'excellent'. We initially ran two sessions a week, adding a third in October and we plan to have four sessions in the new year due to increasing demand. We have around 100 members attending the pantry regularly and a few now volunteer with us as well. We also provide a friendly space for people to have a drink and chat while they wait to shop, and we can signpost members to other support. Using the pantry has given me a bit of breathing room in my budget and made such a difference to my mental health. Thank you all for everything, I can't even begin to explain what a difference it's made. You have reduced my food bill and provided an environment that Is open and welcoming.
