## Trustee Selecton
Every trustee must be appointed for a 4-year term by resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
The objects of Dine with Us are bridging the gap between food waste and food poverty locally. We take good quality surplus food from across the food industry and distribute it to local schools, charities, care homes, A&E NHS nursing staff, Ambulance, Police and individuals who are in need by reason of ill health, disability, hardship and social circumstances.
We work with front line teams, taking pressure off them by providing good and nutritious meals and supporting vulnerable people. We currently support 31 schools, charities, care homes, and provide meals for 1,000 families a week. We also provide an outreach service for in need providing a hot meal, pudding, hot /cold drinks to consume immediately as well as care packages including sandwiches, cakes, tins, fruit and veg, toiletries, and other miscellaneous items such as flowers.
The trustees are fully aware of the guidance on public benefit. Our activities support all members of the local community in general.
## Contributon made by volunteers
Our charity relies on the dedication of volunteers to help collect, inspect for expiry dates, sort and distribute to service users. Our volunteers also deliver care packages and van loads of food to other organisations.
Our volunteers are life blood of our charity and without their 7 days a week support we would not be able to provide or services.
## Achievement and performance
We have once again met the ever-increasing needs of our community, recruited more volunteers, supporting more organisations, made more collections and distributed more food. We have increased our storage, freezers and chillers giving us the ability to reach further into the community and met the ever-increasing challenges of food poverty, especially during the pandemic.
Following on from the two awards we received during the pandemic we are proud to be the only local registered charity to remain operational throughout this difficult period.
Tight control of our operating costs and our work during this difficult period, our fund raising and donations have significantly increased.
## Financial review
The financial position of the year end was £105,204. The trustees are satisfied with the state of the charity’s affairs.
The policy for holding reserves is to meet current going concern obligations and to have the ability to expand operations to meet the needs of the community.

Disclosure
Only complete if the examiner needs to hi9hlighl mattèrs of concern (see CC32,
Independent examination of charity accounts." directions and guidance for
examiners}.
Give here brief details of
any items that the
examiner wishes to
disclose.
The Charity has operated a social supermarket during the financial period.
Substantially the majority of its funds have come from this enterprise
The Income from the social supermarket is reflected in the Receipts and
Payments Accounts as fund raising.
On incorporalion the social supemarket was considered by the Charity
Commission not lo be wholly for charitable purposes as no restriction was put
on the users on a need's basis.
The Trustees believe that the project has produced benefits for the local
community and meets the Charities airns.
The charity has been in contact with the HM revenue and Customs regarding
the social supermarket enterprise, as to whether it needs lo be reclassified as a
trade and account for any taxation which may be due. After taking legal advise
the Trustees are in the process of separating out the social supermarket from
the charity and it will be ils own entity going forward.
On ils incorporation the Charity assumed the funds from a non-register
enterprise - Dine with us on the streets, this balance is reflected as income in
the Receipts and Payments Accounts.
