TRUSTEES. REPORT {contlnu•d)
Current year Inltlatlv••
Durlng 2024-2025, the Kenslngton & Chelsea Foodbank contlnued to Improve the
experience for Its cllents, ensurlng that the supply of food met thelr growlng demand,
whlle also provldlng them wlth a respertful, dlgnlfied and compasslonate services.
W•r•hou•• & Food Supplv
We are grateful that the Nottlng Hlll Methodlst Church contlnues to provlde us wlth
dedlcated warehouse space as well as the use of thelr receptlon and church hall on
dlstribution days.
Agalnst the background of the contlnued cost-of.Ilvlng crlsls, the foodbank saw a
51gniflcant Increase In demand for Its 5ervlces. In the nnanclal year 2024-2025 we
fulfilled 3,712 vouchers, lan Increase of 23W• on prior year), which fed a total of 6,901
people lan increase of over 14%) Includlng 1,582 children. Thls represented 1,156
unlque households, up almost 13% on the prevlous flnan¢lal year.
Over the course of the year, we dlstrlbuted 37.4 tonnes of food, up 170/0 from 2023-
2024. In 2024-25 we are especlally gratefL¢I to our maln food donors, Tesco Kenslngton
and the local charlty Shop-and-Drop. Other branches of Tesco, local supemarket5 and
Shops, schools, churches and indivlduals made up the bulk of our other food donations.
We also sought to Int￿aSe the supply of fresh vegetables and began dlstrlbutlng
prepared meals from the Slkh communlty's Central Gurdwara on Frldayg. From August
2024, we also began receivlng almost weekly some donatlons of fresh food (eggs,
cheese, bread and vegetables).
However, in this extremely challenglng econom1¢ envlronment, wlth demand rlslng, we
found that those generous donatlons of food were not enough to meet the needs of
our client5. Consequentlyi we had to supplement them very heavily with our own
purchases. In total, we bought In over 47¥0 of the total food and tolletrles In our
storeroom, alded by a sustalnability grant from Trussell.
Beyond that, In February we Ltrnderwent an inspection by the Mayor's Department of
Environment. They providèd u5 wlth several recommendations regarding fgod safety
and we have been worklng to Implement them.
Staff and Volunteers:
Our dedicated staff and volunteers a￿ the Ilfeblood of the charity. ft Is a huge tribute
to the efforts of btsth that the ft)odbank was able to handle the Increased demand
(luring this year so smoothly.

TRusfEES' REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
TRUSTEES. REPORT (contlnu•d)
In terms of staff, we continued to employ an operatlons manager and, thanks to
generous grants, a part-tlme warehouse manager and a part-tlme volunteer co-
ordinator. As these grants wlll end early in the upcomlng year, In December 2024 we
hlred a fundraiser to help reduce our reliance on annual grants an¢J Increase our income
from prlvate donatlons, charltable trusts and corporate donors. This positlon was
funded by the same Trussell Sustalnablllty Grant noted above.
The foodbank also recelved a grant to contlnue the employment of a part-tlme strateglc
resources manager who strengthened and rationalised our Ilnks wlth exlstlng referral
agencles, wfch the alm of focuslng on those agencles who send the most clients to the
foodbank.
Alongslde that core team, we expanded and strengthened our volunteer base to ensure
the long-tem sustalnablllty of our operatlons.
While the number of corporate
volunteer teams dropped from 18 to 16, thls wa5 more than offset by an Increase In
the number of indlvldual volunteers from the communltyi whlch rose from an average
ef 8 to 11. We offered ongolng tralnlng to equlp volunteers wlth the skills and
knowledge needed to meet the growlng demand. Addltlonally, we dedScated tlme to
Improvlng communlcatlon by our volunteers and staff wlth our customers to prevent
andlor dlffuse incSdents of problematic behavlour, whlch had rlsen wlth the Increase In
demand and challen9ing cllent sltuatlons.
Work wlth r•f•rr•l ag•Thcl
Throughout thls year we bullt on our ambltlon to provlde not Just food for our cllents,
but also to help them tackle the underlylng causes of thelr food Insecurlty. Onslte
advlce servlces were provlded rnalnly by the Kenslngton & Chelsea Cltlzens Advlce
Bu￿aU, currently funded by a multS-year grant that wlll be9ln to step down at the end
of the next flscal year. Lts servlces were complemented by signpostlng to local support
agencles by volunteers.
As part of that, we malntalned and strengthened our Ilnks w￿h exlstlng referral
agencies and Improved our client guidance capabllltles. We have been dellghted to
develop new partnership5 to ensure that people experienclng food poverty can access
support servlces such as those offered by the Clement James Centre and Turnlng Polnt.
Communlty LlThk¥
The Kensington & Chelsea Foodbank is committed to working In collaboration with local
communlty partners. Enhancing our visibility in Kenslngton and Chelsea remalns very
mportant to us. Critically. It enables us to advocate for issue5 related to food insecurity
and poverty wlthln the community and among our donors.

Feeding the Communlty Inltlatlve. We also welcomed visits from Halcyon London
Lnternational School and Pembrldge Hall School, alon9 wlth the charfty Tlme Givers.

relatlonshlp wlth Queensgate School, whose students have conslstently brought
donatlons every week durlng term-tlme. fn thls flnanclal year they donated 756 Kg
some 3% of our total donatlons.
Looklng Ahead
Thls year was a challenglng year, as the Foodbank saw an Increased demand from
clients whlle also facing a wldenlng gap between donated food and supply needed. The
Foodbank successfully flnlshed the year In sllght surplus.
However, as many of our
exlstlng grants wlll explre In the upcornlng year, fundralslng wlll remaln a prlorlty. The
Foodbank wlll contlnue to focus on more sustabnable fundlng, as well as seeklng
addltlonal sources of food supply to reduce our purchaslng and continulng to work on
Improved effldency of operatlons.
We are very encouraged by the communlty and donor Ilnks we have currently In place
and look forward to deepenlng many of those and establlshlng fvrther partnershlps.
