Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This financial year, Share the Care has continued to grow. Two additional supermarkets have been added to the existing ones, from which regular collections have been made. The distributing of this surplus food (that would otherwise be thrown away) to the needy in the local community - and even further afield on occasions, has been carried out by our ever growng team of volunteers. It has continued to develop very close working relationships with several other charitable organisations to enable the large amounts of food to be distributed in an efficient manner. Examples of some of these organisations are: Skipton Food Bank St. Bartholomew’s Food Bank, Colne Open Door, Colne Schools in the area operating their own Food Banks Various NHS facilities At the same time, the charity continues to directly support many individuals and families in the community. These recipients, that come to the attention of the volunteers from time to time, are supplied with food - direct to their door in many cases. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Towards the end of this financial year, the charity was successful in securing a grant from Lidl, via the Neighbourly scheme. The charity has also undertaken some more fundraising. These two sources of funds has enabled the charity to offer our volunteers the chance to be reimbursed for the ever-increasing cost of fuel used in their own vehicles whilst collecting and distributing food. Without this influx of funds, the charity would not have been able to reimburse fuel costs and many of our volunteers would therefore be unable to afford to cover the additional motoring costs associated with the collection and distribution. The charity held a total of £174 in funds as at the end of the period being reported - see submitted accounts for more detail. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | No cash (or otherwise) reserves are held. Whatever funds are available are held as ‘petty cash’ and within the charity’s bank account. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | Nil. |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | The operations of the charity do not require funds. However, it has become necessary for the charity to offer volunteers the ability to be reimbursed for fuel costs. All the people involved with the running of the charity are volunteers. None of the people involved with the charity receive any funds apart from being reimbursed for fuel costs. No salaries are paid to any individual within the organisation. Hence, the charity does not need, nor expect, to carry reserves. |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | N/A |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | None - the charity expects to continue in the future - very much as a ‘going concern’. |
