## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 6/12/2021 Period start date To 15/4/2023 Period end date** **Charity name: REMO Charitable Trust Charity registration number: 1196953** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|**The objects of the CIO are, for the**
**benefit of the public— (a) the relief of**
**poverty or financial hardship among**
**people living in primarily (but not**
**exclusively) Cambridgeshire through**
**the provision of food and services**
**which they could not otherwise afford**
**through lack of means;**
**(b) the relief of children and young**
**people who are suffering bereavement,**
**chronic illness or hardship, in particular**
**by enabling them to engage in creative**
**and therapeutic activity through the**
**provision of arts and crafts materials.**| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or

1.19|**The REMO Charitable Trust offers**
**support and resources for local people**
**in need. We work with a number of**
**support organisations who refer people**
**in need to our Food4Good and Box of**
**Rainbows initiatives. Likewise we also**
**refer and signpost to other**
**organisations who may be better placed**
**to offer specific support such as debt**
**advice, support in accessing funding to**
**pay for essential items, help with**
**emotional and financial guidance.**
**Supporting people in need and caring**
**for the planet is at the heart of all we do.**
**The REMO Food4Good Scheme**
**redistributes surplus food from growers,**
**supermarkets, producers and**
**distributors.**
**We aim to offer choice, respecting a**
**person’s dignity, and a pathway out of**
**hardship. For the planet we aim to**| |||**ensure that good food doesn’t go to**
**waste.**
**Volunteers collect surplus food from**
**supermarkets and other donors. We**
**operate on a need not greed basis which**
**means limits apply so that as many**
**people as possible can benefit.**
**For our free food scheme we only ask**
**for a postcode and number of people in**
**the household. This helps us with**
**measuring our impact and hopefully will**
**help us attract funding to expand and**
**improve the scheme.**
**There are two types referral, the first is a**
**simple signposting whereby anyone can**
**refer or even self refer to our**
**Food4Good Scheme and the beneficiary**
**access the Community Fridge or pays**
**directly for the Social Supermarket. The**
**second is through an established**
**referral system like CLAS –**
**Cambridgeshire Local Assistance**
**Scheme whereby the CLAS Champion**
**issues a voucher against which The**
**REMO Charity will assign 24 weeks of**
**access to the Social Supermarket which**
**is free to the beneficiary.**| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
