benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services

volunteers.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
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. One additional
supermarket has been added to the
existing ones, from which regular
collections have been made. We have
had to cease collections from one
supermarket due to the travel distances
involved. The distribution 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-growing 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 In October of this financial year, the
charity was successful in securing a
grant from Sainsbury’s via the
Neighbourly scheme. The charity has
also undertaken some more fundraising.
These funds have enabled the charity to
continue 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 £431 in funds
as at the end of the period being reported
- see submitted accounts for more
details.
We continue to apply for grants in order
to be able to reimburse our volunteers for
their transport costs involved in
collecting and distributing food.
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’.
