SMALLSHAW HURST COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year.

Smallshaw Hurst community
Smallshaw-Hurst (SSH) is home to over 4,800 children and young people, with a total population nearing 16,000. Primarily covering the OL6 postcode, it includes the neighbourhoods of Broadoak, Smallshaw, Hurst, and Hazel Hurst. Half of SSH’s population resides in areas ranked among the most deprived 10% in England, with at least three neighbourhoods within the most deprived 5% (IMD 2019).
Although there have been transport improvements aimed at the more affluent and socially mobile community on the outskirts of SSH, these developments have provided limited benefits for most residents. Barriers such as cost, access issues, and a sense of disconnection from Greater Manchester restrict their ability to tap into employment and development opportunities in the wider region.
Reductions in public sector funding have led to the scaling back of support services, including the closure of the local children’s centre. With 38% of SSH households lacking access to a car (compared to 30% for Tameside overall) and few local amenities, residents face difficulties in accessing essential services. For instance, reaching supermarkets or GP surgeries often requires two bus journeys into the town centre.
A review of achievements and performance
In last year’s report we noted the significant increase in the number of members using us through the year. This trend has continued through 2023/24 where we have seen a rise in numbers of 15% versus the year before. On average 75 people used us each week with a minimum of 55 and a maximum of 112.
With this continued increase in the number of people we are serving at the Pantry has meant we have had to be vigilant regards our spending and funding to ensure we are able to meet this demand so that everyone who comes down to us is able to receive a basket of similar value goods no matter whether they are the first or last into our store. Through keeping a close eye on our financial position, we also want to ensure we remain financially robust for the longer-term to meet the needs of our community.

We were successful in our bids for funding from the National Lottery Community Fund where we received a grant for £9853, a grant of £2000 from the Manchester Guardian Society and also a grant for £1600 from the Asda Foundation. We are fortunate in having a number of wonderful organisations who have supported the Pantry through the year. We received a donation of £2500 from the Tameside Rotary Club and also generous donations from St Christopher’s Primary School, St John the Evangelist Church, Hurst Methodist Church, Christ Church, Rosehill Methodist Primary School, Waterloo Methodist Church, Hurst Nook United Reform Church and also Stalybridge Baptist Church.
We have regular donations of bread from Taylor’s Bakery in Ashton and also from Mano at the Queen’s Road Convenience Store. We also continue to be indebted to Anne Renkin and Steve Holloway from the Ashton Chiropractic Centre for their generous support of the Pantry. Finally huge thanks to Christine Beresford who organised a sponsored walk, and raffle that brought in over £850!
A major source of our stock is delivered to us via the Fareshare network. Through their relationship with food retailers and manufacturers they receive a wide range of food items that Fareshare then distribute to pantries like ourselves and food banks across the Greater Manchester area at a significantly lower price than you can find the same items in a supermarket. We supplement this delivery with our own top up shop plus donations we receive from local churches. In May last year we for the first time made use of the Fareshare Plus depot in Openshaw where we were able to select further items that Fareshare receive. This we have found to be a very cost effective way of keeping our food costs down although what products are available to purchase do change significantly from week to week so that a top up shop at Aldi is still required to ensure we are able to stock a good range of essential food products.

Food Hygiene Rating
In April 2023 we had a visit from the TMBC Food Standards team to assess our food hygiene standard and we were delighted to receive a 5-star rating.
Cedar Park Chefs
A number of our volunteers have formed a group called the Cedar Park Chefs who help the Pantry through putting together recipe bags for our members. The recipes are designed to provide a meal for a family that are easy to make and encourage members who are not confident at cooking to give it ago and hopefully give them the confidence to try other recipes for themselves. Our chefs have been doing a brilliant job providing recipe bags for members throughout the year, supported by £800 funding we received from Ashton United in the Community. Recipes included a pork casserole and Jamaican style vegetable patty all of which have been very well received by our members.
Consultation Day
We held our Consultation Day with our volunteers on December 5[th] . We ran two feedback activities. The first was on the topic ‘If we were to write a guide for a new volunteer to the Pantry, what do they need to know?’
The second topic was on the issue ‘Our values are about dignity(respect), grace (nonjudgemental) and choice (select your own items). How can we ensure the Pantry lives up to these values?’ This enabled us as a group to reflect on how we interact and communicate with each other and our members, and the importance of living by these values in our work at the Pantry.
To complete the day, we were served a fantastic Christmas Lunch by our Pantry Chefs. Many thanks to our chefs and also to St John the Evangelist Church for the use of their hall and facilities.
A volunteer’s story
Jackie has recently started to volunteer with us after being encouraged to come along by her sister and kindly agreed to share her story with us:
“I have not been going to the Pantry for very long, but I can see the very hard work that goes into organising it all by the dedicated staff who run it and the volunteers who turn up week after week. The people who come for their shopping are mainly the same ones, but new ones turn up and it can be very busy.
This service that serves the community is amazing; when they have done their shopping, they have tea or coffee provided free of charge and the volunteers bring biscuits for them. Some stay for several brews and talk to other people, maybe they are the only people they see to talk to. I have been suffering with my mental health with having to deal with difficult things over the years and going to the Pantry has really helped me because talking to other people who also have difficult things going on in their lives you know you are not alone.”

Testimonial from Kim a member of our Pantry
Kim has been a regular shopper at our Pantry over the last 12 months. Kim and her partner look after 5 children whose ages run from 1 to 17 years old so it’s a very busy household with many mouths to feed!
Kim first found out about the Pantry from a friend and was initially anxious about coming down but found it to be a very friendly place. In Kim’s words ‘ It’s such a welcoming place to be and I love having a brew with other members after doing my shopping’ .
With having a large household Kim finds the Pantry really helps to alleviate the pressure on the family budget by providing ‘ a great range of products at a spectacularly low price’ . She also finds it to help with her mental health as she has suffered with anxiety in the past, ‘everyone is so friendly and made to feel welcome’.
Financial Review
Yet another successful year, our membership have increased through the year and we provided weekly shopping to 85 members.
We are extremely grateful to the following organisations for their financial and in-kind support:
Ashton United in the Community Ashton Chiropractic Family Wellness Centre St John Evangelist Church Hurst Cross St Christophers’ Junior School St Damiens Secondary School Asda Foundation Tameside Rotary Club Tameside Manchester Guardian Forever Manchester Hurst Methodist Church
Investment Powers and Policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds in a 'Treasurers Account'.
Reserves Policy and Going Concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31[st] March 2024 was £18,368, of which £17,196 are free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets. The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately 9 months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that
8
SMALLSHAW HURST COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
Risk management
As the charity continues to establish itself the trustees will conduct regular reviews of the major risks to which the charity may be exposed, and systems will be established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Periods
Cost of living crisis – equipment for cooking and recipe bags. Container for improved storage. Refreshment stall. Nutritional Policy – support making of meals, provide properly balanced.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
