Trustees Report
Tha Trustees present this Annual Rewt together with the Financial Accounts of th@ Charity for the
year ending 31 May 2025.
In preparing thi8 Annual Report, the Board ol Trusteès have noted the guidance sel down by the
Charil*s Commission regarding public benefit.
Our Annual Report
Having CoMp￿ted our Third full year as a regislèreé charity ICIOI, building on the am82ing work we had
undertaken as a community voluntary group over the previous 7-8 years we have exceedgd all
expectations for this last year, seeing greater numbers of hOme￿S8 and low-in￿me families. We also
provide food, clothing and 8ssenlial loiletry supplies and provide more food at the b8ginning of Iheweek
to families in Need in Hertfordshire giving over 5D-70 food packages weekly which lolals approximately
£150,000 of food (lonalions a year.
How we stsrted
The work began when Shoshana Gilmore was walking through a park In Wafford and saw a peYBon
sleeping rough on a bench. Others have often made an iMM￿liate compassionate response, which
Shoshana did, bul few have gone on to make something h8pp8n that would make a substantial
contribution lo homelessness generally.
Shoshana shar8d her con¢ems with her husband Lloyd, and they decided logetherto m8k8 ft a personal
mission, initialty taking big bags of food prepared in thèir kitchen into London on the lube, then
organising a minNan and gro￿ThQ numbers of Yoluntser helpeTS, using trolleys to take food around the
streets.
y the summer of 2022 it was clear th31 there were sufficient momentum and 5UPPOrt lo take thlngs up
a level and the decision was madeto moveto charitable status and to become 8 Charitsble Incorporated
Organisalion. The founding trustees w8re Shosh8na. Ashley Feldman andAnnick Devillard. The charity
appointed Marc Bènnett FCA, Chartered Accountant, a8 its Treasurer in Juty 2023 and Adam Convi88er
joined the Board of Trustee8 in Octobèr 2023.
Around hdf of our benefKigries are th8 horllel8ss sleeping r￿gh, the othèr haK belng housed in
sub8t8ndard properties in the area and having g range of vulnerdbilttB8.
As part of the service, we have developed relationships ￿th a number ol focKI stores including Costco
and Wailrose lo support our friends on the street. As an extension of that work, we Connect with local
foodbanks lo make surè we havè the supplies we need and lo recycle them so that nothing is wasted,
Demand for our servrces is rising. We support up to 140 people every week, atthough there is so much
unmet need we now need to grow both the Charity and our service levels gnd need lo mov8 beyond a
purely volunleer-manned approach. Vve have recently had a brand-new van donated, Ireplacing our
batler8d Mini), and we are able lo provide help more effectively. Key needs for the charity includ8
storage and food pr8paration spaces (we currently use a lock up garagè and Trustee and volunteer
homes ￿Yh1Oh is increasingly Inappropriate and unsuslainable}.
Across all that we do Lloyd and Shoshana generousty Continue to volunteer their timo. effort, arKI
commitment to the cause and lo the mission of the Charrty. They are with u$ every week in London and
manage lo hold down othèr employment as well. They ar8 an inspiration and des8rve all th& support

This report is mad& so18ly to the charitls Trustses, as a body, in accordance with Section 14S of the
Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under 8eclh)n 154 of that Act. W work has been undertaken
so that I might slate to the charity's Trustèes those mallers l am required to state lo them in an
independent examinerf8 ieport and for no other purpose. To the fullest exteril pemiillad by law, I do not
accept or assume responsibility lo anyone other than the chajily and the charity's Trustees as a bcKIy,
for my work or for this report.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's Truste$8 are responsible for the preparation of the financial stalements, and thèy consider
that an audit is not required for this yeai under section 14412) of the Charit￿$ Act 2011 Ilhe Acll and
that an independent examination is needed.
IÉ is my resF)onsibillty lo..
examine the tinancial statements under section 145 of the Act.,
follow the procedures Lgid down in th8 general DireGtions gNen by the Charity Commis8M)n under
section 14SIS}{bl of the Act., and
state whether particular matters have come to ffly attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAM]NER'S REPORT
My examlnalion was carrled out In accordancè wrth the general Directions given by the Chaiity
Commission. An examination inGludes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
comparison of the financial statements pr8S@nled with those records. It also inoludes consideration of
any unusual items or disclosures in the financial stslements and seeking explanations from ygu as
Trustees concerning any such m8tters. The prccèdures undertaken do not provide all the evidenc8 that
would be required in an audft, and consequently no opinion is gNen as lo whether the financial
statements pre86nt a'lrue and fairview, and the report is limited to those matters setoul in the 81atement
LEIOW.
