Objectives and activities
The purpose of the charity is the relief of financial hardship of low-income families in Smallshaw Hurst and surrounding neighbourhood by the operation of a community pantry store food scheme.
In seeking to deliver these objectives, the trustees & pantry team seek to deliver services to those most in need locally, and particularly those who may be excluded, marginalised or otherwise disadvantaged.
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.
Our Mission Statement
To be at the heart of the local community helping it to thrive and, together with our partners, provide affordable food, social contact and support.

SMALLSHAW HURST COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
Our local community
Smallshaw-Hurst (SSH) is home to nearly 16,000 residents, including more than 4,800 children and young people. The area primarily covers the OL6 postcode and encompasses the neighbourhoods of Broadoak, Smallshaw, Hurst, and Hazel Hurst. Around half of SSH’s population lives in communities ranked among the most deprived 10% in England, with at least three neighbourhoods falling within the most deprived 5% (IMD 2019).
While recent transport investments have targeted the more affluent and socially mobile areas on SSH’s outskirts, these improvements have offered little benefit to the majority of residents. High costs, limited access, and a feeling of disconnection from Greater Manchester continue to restrict local people’s access to employment and development opportunities across the region.
Cuts to public sector funding have further reduced the availability of support services, including the closure of the local children’s centre. With 38% of households in SSH having no access to a car (compared with 30% across Tameside) and few local facilities, residents face significant challenges in reaching essential services. For example, travelling to a supermarket or GP surgery often requires taking two bus journeys into the town centre.
A review of achievements and performance
In the 12 months to the end of March 2025 we again experienced a rise in the number of members using us each week. Since we opened in Cedar Park in April 2021 we have seen an increase in usage every year. This year we averaged 90 people using our store each week which is more than double the number using us in our first year. This has meant a heavy demand on finances to make sure we have sufficient stock for everyone and also on our volunteers to make sure we are able to serve our members in a timely manner. It is a great credit to all our volunteers and Pantry Manager that we have been able to cope with this increase in demand. It is of course a worrying trend that so many households in our community are in need of our support.

It has also been a year of change in that in May 2024 we had to say goodbye to Andy Finnigan who was our Pantry Manager when we first started and we would like to thank Andy for his great work with us. We would also like to thank Ashton United in the Community for providing the services of Andy. We were fortunate however that Angela Gratton has taken on this role, relinquishing her position as a Trustee, and doing a wonderful job. We seek to make the Pantry a welcoming and friendly place for members and volunteers alike and Angela has played an important role in helping us live up to that ambition.
We are fortunate in that we have a number of partners in our community who provide valuable support to the Pantry. Ashton United in the Community in not only providing the services of Andy but also for use of their van and their facilities when needed. The Smallshaw-Hurst Children’s Community continued to provide resources, support and guidance for our work and are helping us in shaping how we best manage our volunteers. St John the Evangelist Church and Hurst Methodist Church have been very generous in their donations to the Pantry and also through the use of their facilities. St John have also provided funds to the Pantry so that we have been able to supply women’s sanitary products on a regular basis.
At Christmas we were able to provide Asda shopping vouchers to over 130 members thanks to the incredible generosity of a local family. Christmas time is a very expensive time for all of us so it was lovely that we could help make a difference to so many members at this time of year.
Work experience for Tameside College students
In March we welcomed 2 students from Tameside College to the Pantry for a 5-week work experience placement. The two students were able to work at the front deck welcoming members into the Pantry and collecting members’ fees and also working as a serving assistant helping members make their choices of food items as they make their way through

SMALLSHAW HURST COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
the Pantry. The placement was designed for students who need a bit of extra support in terms of gaining the skills and confidence to be able to find paid employment once they leave college and we were delighted to play our role in supporting these young people.
Grants received during the year
We were delighted to receive funding from the Tameside Household Support Fund this year. Through that funding we have been able to replace one of our freezers and also replace the mobile shelving. In addition we used the funding to enhance the food we are able to provide members by stocking fresh meat and this also covered the cost of the ‘Summer bites’ programme put together by the Cedar Park and Hurst Community Group on our behalf for children in the school summer holidays.
The funding was also used to run a free week for members ie no member’s fee and we were also able to provide Asda vouchers for members. The feedback we had from this initiative was fabulous and we know it gave our families a real boost, e.g:
“ It has been a huge help I was struggling to get the essentials this month as prices are going up with everything money just isn't stretching. So the extra help with free bag and vouchers has helped me cover and get by thus month with the bits I needed. ”
We were also very grateful for funding we received from the Council for Social Age. This funding has been used to cover our basic costs such as the food we buy in from Fareshare, the top-up shop from Aldi and the admin costs we have in running our Pantry store.
Consultation with Members
An important aspect of our work is to ensure we are meeting the needs of our local community and to this end we ran a survey of members to understand what our members think of the Pantry, what they like, what they don’t like, why they use us and how else could we best support them. We had 55 people complete our and people were able to fill it in anonymously to help ensure people could freely give their true view of the Pantry.
Overall we had lots of positive feedback from members and we rated highly across all aspects of the service we provide. It was great to see 100% of respondents saying they felt welcomed when they come down to the Pantry
The most often cited financial concern for our members is energy costs. 40% of people found it difficult to cover the cost of feeding their family and 50% worried about paying bills
In terms of any dislikes, queues were mentioned, people smoking in the queue and a comment relating to the need to make new people feel at ease when they first come down & about the cleanliness of the Pantry
There were many positive comments on what people liked about the Pantry, particularly about the volunteers and the social element that the Pantry provides
7
SMALLSHAW HURST COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
We had very useful feedback on the main reason why people come down to the Pantry e.g. “Is an absolute lifeline knowing that I will have some food in the house otherwise I only have toast”
Members would most like to see more fresh meat and tea/coffee being stocked
A volunteer’s story
“My name is Rukiya. I have been volunteering for the Smallshaw Hurst Community Action Group for more than four years. Over the years I have really enjoyed this experience because of the people I come across at the food pantry. Each week people come to do their shopping and during this time I have made good friends. Many times I have come across members who need more help and advice and I always try my best to direct them to this help.
This experience allows me to have a break from home and help out at any of the events the community host such as Hurstfest during the summer. This festival allows me to bring my family to enjoy the event whilst I help out during the day of the festival but even with helping I enjoy myself!”
Testimonial from Tracey a member of our Pantry
Tracey lives about half a mile away from the Pantry and has been coming down to the store for around 18 months now. In her own words she explains why she uses the Pantry:
“I started coming down when I needed a bit of help when I was off sick. The sick pay I received didn’t go far enough to cover the cost of all my bills. The shopping I get is great as it does make sure I have enough food in to see me through the week.
What I also really like about the store is that it is a community. I love sitting in the refreshment area chatting to people and swopping stories. I bring along my dog and even the dog is excited to come down! It’s a proper community.
By coming down to the Pantry I’ve made friends through it and was able to donate a sofa to help another family in need.”
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

SMALLSHAW HURST COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
St Damiens Secondary School 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 2025 was £21,741, of which all 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 3 months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that 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
We will continue to support our community through the cost of living crisis providing practical advice, guidance on cooking healthy and nutritious meals and through the distribution of recipe bags

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025
1. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2019 preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 1st January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 2 restricted funds.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 17.
(c) Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
(d) Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.
(e) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
(f) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on type of expense. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 8.
(g) Costs of raising funds
The costs of raising funds consists of events.
(h) Charitable Activities
Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 7.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025
(i) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Equipment
33.33% on cost
(j) Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their varying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(k) Pensions
The charity currently does not administer contributions to a pension scheme on behalf of individuals.
(l) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
(m) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
2. Related party transactions and trustees' expenses and remuneration
The trustees all give freely their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind Expenses paid to the trustees in the period totalled £nil (2024: £nil).
