|Contribution made by<br>volunteers|Para 1.38|**thanks to the marvellous, compassionate**<br>**and generous efforts of its team of**<br>**volunteers - the trustees would like to**<br>**take this opportunity to thank them all!**|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

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

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**In October of this financial year, the**<br>**charity was successful in securing a**<br>**grant from Sainsbury’s via the**<br>**Neighbourly scheme. The charity has**<br>**also undertaken some more fundraising.**<br>**These funds have enabled the charity to**<br>**continue to offer our volunteers the**<br>**chance to be reimbursed for the ever-**<br>**increasing cost of fuel used in their own**<br>**vehicles whilst collecting and distributing**<br>**food.**<br>**Without this influx of funds, the charity**<br>**would not have been able to reimburse**<br>**fuel costs and many of our volunteers**<br>**would therefore be unable to afford to**<br>**cover the additional motoring costs**<br>**associated with the collection and**<br>**distribution.**<br>**The charity held a total of £431 in funds**<br>**as at the end of the period being reported**<br>**- see submitted accounts for more**<br>**details.**<br>**We continue to apply for grants in order**<br>**to be able to reimburse our volunteers for**<br>**their transport costs involved in**<br>**collecting and distributing food.**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**No cash (or otherwise) reserves are held.**<br>**Whatever funds are available are held as**<br>**‘petty cash’ and within the charity’s bank**<br>**account.**|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**Nil.**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|**The operations of the charity do not**<br>**require funds. However, it has become**<br>**necessary for the charity to offer**<br>**volunteers the ability to be reimbursed**<br>**for fuel costs. All the people involved**<br>**with the running of the charity are**<br>**volunteers. None of the people involved**<br>**with the charity receive any funds apart**<br>**from being reimbursed for fuel costs.**<br>**No salaries are paid to any individual**<br>**within the organisation.**<br>**Hence, the charity does not need, nor**<br>**expect, to carry reserves.**|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|**N/A**|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|**None - the charity expects to continue in**<br>**the future - very much as a ‘going**<br>**concern’.**|
