SHARE Wokingham REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2025
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
## **Objects of the Charity**
THE OBJECT OF THE CIO IS: THE RELIEF OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AMONGST PEOPLE IN THE NORREYS WARD (WOKINGHAM) AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS IN SUCH WAYS AS THE TRUSTEES FROM TIME-TO-TIME THINK FIT, IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY BY: A) PROVIDING EMERGENCY FOOD, ESSENTIAL TOILETRIES, AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NEED AND/OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY OTHER CHARITIES OR OTHER ORGANISATIONS WORKING TO PREVENT OR RELIEVE POVERTY. B) SUCH OTHER MEANS, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) THE PROVISION OF SUPPORT OR SIGNPOSTING TO RELEVANT INFORMATION AND OTHER ADVISORY SERVICES.
## **Government**
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monito the activities of the CIO. 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 and other local charities & groups to offer support and advice to those that come along to the SHARE project. We have continued our partnerships with the Community Wellness Team for health checks, Wokingham Recovery College, council tax debt advice and housing needs.
Alongside partnerships with First Days Childrens Charity and the Wokingham Foodbank we have also supported local families with Christmas gifts and food. We regularly support holiday hunger programs with food donations and other practical support. Due to the loss of the building which house the furniture project we had to close this portion of the project in January of 2025.
We are continuing to support local schools through the JAM Club – this project targets local schools who have children coming to school hungry but no access to free school meals. We deliver a healthy food box each week to the schools and they use the food delivered to support the children most in need.
The Roots Community Store which is a partnertship with Wokingham Foodbank, First Days Children’s Charity and supported by a grant from Wokingham Borough Council supports referred households to move away from foodbank referrals and offers a shopping experience at Norreys Church for a variety of grocery items.

## **Financial Review**
During the year the donations we received have decreased, this was mainly due to the substantial grants received the year previous to support Roots Community Store. This year we have not had any centrally funded grants but have relied on donations from other sources. As the demand for SHARE increases we will need to look for longer term sources of funding to ensure the sustainability of the project.
## **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. We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enabls us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
