The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when planning activities.
The charity’s main activity is running an emergency foodbank. Anyone in need can refer themselves and we also receive referrals from local agencies. A referral form is completed by the client liaison volunteer on duty that day or by the referrer from an agency and beneficiary details are stored on a secure spreadsheet.
The foodbank operates on 3 days per week when teams of volunteers pack and deliver parcels to beneficiaries at their homes.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Information packs on where beneficiaries can find further help on such matters as debt, longer term food support, benefits and job seeking are included with the first parcel that a beneficiary receives and on occasions a client liaison volunteer refers a beneficiary directly to another agency.
These activities help relieve poverty and hardship by enabling beneficiaries to feed themselves and their families. They also help people move on to longer term solutions once the immediate crisis is resolved. We normally limit the number of parcels a beneficiary can receive to 6 within a 6 month period.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
We have a fantastic team of about 50 volunteers who fulfil varying roles and Trustees are very grateful to all of them. The foodbank could not run without the time, skills, energy and dedication of all our volunteers.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The charity has been able to support all those who have come to us for help during the year thanks to our generous local supporters who continue to bring us donations in kind, and all our funders who have shown their support and their trust in us by making grants to us. We distributed a total of 1875 parcels during the period of this report, an increase over the previous year of 15%. This represents approximately 450 separate households which is an increase of 13%.
We have continued to attract a fantastic group of volunteers without whom none of this could have been achieved and have become established in our local community and are now well known and respected by local people.
