New Trustees are appointed by the Trustees. ## **Review of Activities** SHARE supports the local community with fresh fruit, vegetables and other items which would otherwise be wasted. These items are collected from local supermarkets and other suppliers and distributed across several sites within the borough for no charge. This allows households most in need to access items which would otherwise be too costly for them to purchase and also reduce the vast amount of food waste created in this country. We work closely with the council community engagement team and other local charities to offer support and advice to those that come along to the SHARE project. Alongside partnerships with First Days Childrens Charity and the Wokingham Foodbank we have also support local families with Christmas gifts and food. We regularly support holiday hunger programs with food donations and other practical support. At a time of crisis when a block of flats burned down SHARE supported the residents with food and other items and also hosted a funding page for support for them. As the year progressed we recognised an increasing need for our service and will look to operate over more sites in the coming year to improve access to our provision. ## **Financial Review** During the year the donations we received have increased steadily, these have come through private and corporate sources. As the demand for SHARE has increased we will need to look for longer term sources of funding to ensure the sustainability of the project. 3 ## **Governance** Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rest with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. New trustees are recruited an appointed by the existing trustees by a majority vote. The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. ## **Responsbilities of Trustees** Charity law required us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
