Trustees report 2021/2022

In October 2021 CATCH was awarded registered charity status. This report covers the first year of operation ending October 31[st] 2022. CATCH is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registration number 1196127.

Charity objectives

The objects of the CIO, which are for the public benefit and to be carried out in the Upper Swansea Valley (Cwmtawe) and the surrounding area, are:

1) The prevention or relief poverty through the operation of a foodbank offering food, baby items, pet food and essential items together with linked support, services and advice to individuals and families in financial need.

2) To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Activities, achievements and performance

CATCH’s main activity is the operation of a Foodbank, open three mornings a week. We also run a charity shop on the premises, selling only donated items, which provides income for the Foodbank and funds necessary refurbishments to the Chapel from which we operate.

During the 2021/22 year the Foodbank has issued 732 parcels to 188 separate households, helping 489 individuals – 311 adults and 178 children. Many of these have been helped on more than one occasion (the table below counts an individual each time they are helped). The average food parcel contains 33 items of food.

Financial review

During the year we have received funding and donations (both cash and supplies) from a range of organisations, including Ystalyfera Community Council, Neath Port Talbot CBC, Powys County Council, Tesco, Asda and Home Bargains. Local businesses and other charities and groups have also been very generous with their support, as have the many individuals in our community who have donated items, money and their time. Without their help none of our work would be possible.

During the course of the year ownership of Gurnos Chapel, from which we operate, was transferred to CATCH. No purchase price was paid but we had to cover the legal costs.

Total income for the year was £26,922.48. The main income sources were:

Neath Port Talbot CBC Food Poverty Grant: £8819.98

Charity shop sales: £8702.85

Powys CC Food Poverty Grant: £4580.80

Tesco “Blue Token” award: £1825.00

Total expenditure for the year was £24,054.06. The main elements of expenditure were:

Purchase of food & other essential items for foodbank: £5631.39

Chapel maintenance and refurbishment: £5755.19

Utilities, waste disposal and running costs: £4488.26

Equipment (IT, food storage, heaters): £3735.03

The total surplus for the year was £2868.42 .

Closing bank balances as at 31.10.22:

Lloyds Bank (current account): £12,145.96

Monmouthshire Building Society (reserves): £15,559.52
