BANC BWYD PWLLHELI FOODBANK TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2024 Registered Charity Number 1198797
The Foodbanks' Constitution was adopted on 3[rd] May 2022.
Our independant Foodbank has been in operation since February 2013 and was previously an Exempted Charity under the Church in Wales.
Our accounting year changed from end of year 31[st] December to end of year 30[th] April when the new Constitution was adopted.
The object of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) is:
The relief of financial hardship amongst people in Pwllheli and the surrounding area by providing short term emergency food supplies and essential toiletries to those in financial hardship,
We cover a mainly rural area and receive referrals from over 30 agencies in the area which include the CAB, Housing Associations, Medical and Social Professionals and many others.
The Foodbank is run entirely by volunteers from a Church in Pwllheli, North Wales. We collect food donations from trolleys placed in local supermarkets and we receive generous donations delivered to the Foodbank from local churches, schools, groups and individuals.
We also receive generous grants and financial donations.
In the financial year from May 2023 until end of April 2024 we supplied 590 packs of food - 151 to families, 119 to couples and 284 single packs.
These packs fed 1381 people over this period – 851 adults and 530 children.
These numbers are 5.7% increase from the 556 packs that we supplied in 2022-2023.
The Foodbank has no policy on financial reserves, seeking to limit its activites to the income it derives annualy from donations and grants.
The trustees confidently believe that they have complied fully with the legal duty of having regard to public benefit, as set out in Charity Commission guidance.
