STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Cooking Champions is a registered Charity and a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It is governed by a Constitution.

During the period, there were four Trustees on the Board. The Board meets at least four times a year. It sets the strategic direction for the organisation and has the overall responsibility for the running of Cooking Champions, which is delegated on a day to day operational basis to the Chief Executive, Clare Donovan.

Board meetings consist of an operational update, provided by Clare Donovan and the executive team, a financial update and a strategic forward look. As this is the first year of incorporation for the Charity, significant time has also been dedicated to ensuring that all relevant policies and procedures are in place.

The Board is involved in the drafting, review and approval of all relevant policies and procedures for Cooking Champions. All Cooking Champions Trustees and Staff are required to undertake online courses in safeguarding. Trustees are also provided with access to training materials via ICAEW.

Sanasum Perera is the Chair of the Board. Omari Chambers-Alert acted as Trustee during the year and stepped down after the end of the financial period to which this report relates. The Charity governing documents require a minimum of three Trustees. The Board and the Executive team undertake an annual Trustee skills review to identify any gaps and if additional expertise is required. Cooking Champions will be seeking to recruit an additional Trustee with fundraising experience during 2024.

All Trustees act on a voluntary basis, and have not received any remuneration from Cooking Champions during the year.

ANNUAL REVIEW

Summary

Cooking Champions has been supporting the people of North London since the start of the pandemic in 2020. However, we were incorporated as a charity in November 2022, making this our first year with charity status. We have made some great progress as we continue in our goal of providing food support, education and training across North London. It has also been a year in which we have put in place the frameworks for continued success and we have learned a lot from this process.

Highlights of the year include establishing ourselves in our new home in Ponders End, equipping our Community Kitchen and building connections across the community, including food suppliers, supporters, volunteers, service users and other charities. See Activities section for more details.

However, we live in difficult times and demand for our services has increased significantly due to the cost of living crisis. Compared to the previous 12 months, Cooking Champions are supporting 40% more people, and there is a clear and increasing need for our services.

As a young charity, we have faced challenges in establishing sustainable funding streams. More funding opportunities will be open to us in the coming year as a result of having been a registered charity for more than a year.

The trustees are hugely grateful to our fantastic executive team, led by Clare Donovan, and all our volunteers, without whom the Charity would not function.

The Board of Trustees are proud of the services Cooking Champions has provided over the past year, and we look forward to continuing to work with our CEO, staff and volunteers in providing services to alleviate poverty through food support, education and training.

OBJECTIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Objectives

The objective of Cooking Champions is the relief of poverty in London and the surrounding area by providing food parcels, prepared meals, food education and support through a community kitchen for people in financial hardship. The trustees understand their responsibility to keep this public benefit central to the work and activities. Cooking Champions principally operates in the London Boroughs of Enfield, Waltham Forest and Haringey.

Page 4

Cooking Champions Trustees Annual Report

Cooking Champions uses self employed individuals to deliver its services and funds the work through donations, grants and general fundraising. In addition, the charity also uses an extensive team of volunteers to provide its services and support the local community.

In order to strengthen our level of support we are also working with other charities and local community organisations to alleviate poverty and increase food security.

Achievements and performance during our first year as a charity

Community Kitchen & Garden

We settled into our new premises and developed the only dedicated community kitchen in the Borough of Enfield. Thanks to a successful grant application, we were able to invest over £5,000 upgrading the kitchen, improving the electrics and installing the equipment needed to maintain the highest food hygiene standards. We received a 5 star food hygiene rating following the latest inspection in March 2023.

The first year at the community kitchen saw the development of a varied timetable of food based activities including free lunches, cooking lessons, training courses and community events. Every Thursday we provided homemade cooked meals for anyone who attended the community lunches. Each week a new menu was devised based on cultural events and what food we had available.

We have hosted several larger community events to highlight the work that we do to supporters, local organisations and potential donors. This includes Christmas Day, St. David’s Day and the opening of the kitchen garden. It was the first Christmas Day that we opened our doors for people to come and eat with us, so they didn’t spend the day alone. We also distributed Christmas lunches to many of our regular recipients to heat and eat at home.

The kitchen garden was developed to grow produce to use in the kitchen or to distribute in the food bank. The garden was recognised with a Silver Award at the Enfield in Bloom Awards.

Food Support

Food support, via a food bank, was provided twice a week, every single week for people across Enfield and adjacent London boroughs. The service was available for people to select their own food in person, or a delivery service was offered for those who could not attend easily. 5,800 bags of food were provided throughout the year December 2022 - November 2023.

Food Education and Training

We delivered a range of cooking classes including Parent and Child lessons, teenage cooking classes, childrens lessons during school holidays, Over 50s Mens club and Open Kitchen sessions (a three hour class with the emphasis on preparing meals to take home to families).

Page 5

Cooking Champions Trustees Annual Report

Enfield Council hired us to guide local school holiday club providers through their Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate and also show how that theoretical knowledge translates into the daily running of a club.

Chief Executive and General Manager Clare Donovan was awarded a scholarship for an intense six weeks chef course at Little Portland Street Cookery School. Many recipes, techniques and strategies for running a teaching kitchen were brought back to the Cooking Champions kitchen.

Community Engagement

Throughout the year Cooking Champions worked with eight different schools via teaching healthy living classes, cooking lessons, fundraising, sixth form volunteers and forming long term partnerships.

As the charity grows, we are developing a calendar of fundraising events which include a food festival in Palmers Green, Midsummer Supper Club and Harvest Festival collections from local schools.

Cooking Champions continues to be a strong community asset, and this is strengthened by the support we provide for other charities (via food, meals and guidance) including The Little Things UK, AgeUK Enfield, Exodus UK and Enfield Women’s Centre.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Cooking Champions financial position is solid, with total assets available at 30 November 2023 of £52,697. Of this, £39,137 is unrestricted usable cash reserves. As a newly incorporated charity, we now have a charity bank account, and received an unrestricted transfer of £31,947 from Cooking Champions CIC, the entity within which Cooking Champions previously operated before it achieved charitable status.

Financial performance

Our total income for the period ended 30 November 2023 was £159,319 and our expenditure was £138,569 (including depreciation of £2,188), generating a surplus in our first year of £20,750.

Of total income received, 86% of our income came from grants or one-off donations. Grants were typically for delivery of a specific project e.g. the Open Kitchen cooking lessons.

The remaining 14% came from Seren Catering and individual donations, including ongoing monthly donations, via the Golden Giving platform. Seren Catering is a separate commercial events catering business set up by our CEO, Clare Donovan, which donates all profits to Cooking Champions.

Page 6

Cooking Champions Trustees Annual Report

Most of our expenditure relates to staffing costs (£100,172), followed by food, garden and kitchen costs (£22,384), and premises costs (£8,990) which are principally electricity bills. We also invested £10,938 in assets during the year, primarily relating to equipping our Community Kitchen.

Cooking Champions has no financial investments or borrowings and awards no grants.

Although Cooking Champions is in a relatively strong financial position it operates in a difficult economic climate, which impacts our service users and staff directly as well as the organisation itself. Whilst it is encouraging to see the rate of inflation falling it should not be forgotten that prices are still rising. Pressures still remain with food and energy prices in particular, and our service users are reporting ongoing challenges with the cost of living. The economic climate also impacts on the availability of local government funding.

Reserves policy

Cooking Champions has determined that its level of unrestricted usable cash reserves should be three months of operational costs. Our usable cash reserves stood at £39,137 as at 30 November 2023 which falls above the policy requirement. Reserves may temporarily fall below this amount if investment is needed - in such a case this would need to be approved by the Board of Trustees.

Principal risks

The Trustees and the Executive team have identified the following key risks to the ongoing operations of Cooking Champions. They have taken necessary steps to minimise these. Overall, the Trustees and Executive team feel that the following risks are being effectively managed. Key risks are discussed at Trustee meetings.

Staff and Volunteers

As a small Charity, our people are critical to making things work well. Our Founder and CEO, Clare Donovan, is essential to the smooth running of the Cooking Champions operations and takes on responsibilities in many areas. During our first year as a registered charity there has been a big increase in demand for our services. As we continue to grow to meet this need it has been necessary to redefine job roles with individuals specialising in the delivery of different projects.

We are grateful to our many volunteers and are continually looking to expand our base for those who want to be involved.

Food Supplies

During the financial period covered by these accounts, the majority of food donations came from the Felix Project. A key focus for us in 2024 has been diversifying our food supply sources and we have added new suppliers including Warburtons and Food Bank Aid, which provide additional fresh produce which improves the range of food which we can offer in our food support services.

Income Diversification

The Charity is continuously looking for new funding sources - whether through grant applications, fundraising events or connecting through the local community.

Cooking Champions Trustees Annual Report

Trustee Board

A minimum of three Trustees are required to take decisions under the governing documents, with Cooking Champions aiming to have at least four Trustees in place. We conduct an annual review of whether the Trustee Board collectively has the right skill set to meet the needs of the Charity as it grows. We are looking to increase the number of Trustees and will be recruiting in the coming year.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

A CIO is a charity registered as a body corporate under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011.

Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and activities governance costs. Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.

Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.

Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
