Para 1.20
**On average, 54 households attended the**
**Foodbank each week, feeding 71 adults and**
**55 children. We provided 59,076 meals at a**
**value of over £28,000. The actual spend on**
**food was £4,904, which was a 29% increase**
**on last year - reflecting higher prices.**
**We provided food to 10 clients who lived**
**outside HX4 and HX5 and directed many**
**more who contacted us by telephone or email**
**to their relevant Foodbank.**
**We collected from 8 local**
**supermarkets/food suppliers each week.**
**We have 41 committed and active**
**volunteers. This year, we have worked**
**with the Youth Justice Service to**
**welcome younger volunteers (16-18**
**years) and their support worker.**
**The volunteers receive a written monthly**
**update following the Trustees' meeting, and a**
**Safeguarding training course was provided in**
**May 2023.**
**We have provided a monthly ‘Volunteer of**
**the Month’ award during 2025 to recognise**
**those volunteers who go above their usual**
**commitment.**
**In the last 2 years, an Annual General Meeting**
**was held for donors and the public to hear**
**about the work of the Foodbank in the**
**previous year. A newsletter is circulated to**
**everyone on the Foodbank’s circulation list.**
**From this year, we will hold the AGM in**
**March, which will allow us to present the final**
**financial reports, which will also be submitted**
**to the Charity Commission.**
**We continue to be aware of our users'**
**feedback. This year, we completed a survey of**
**37 households. The feedback was informative**
**and positive regarding the food and**
**environment provided by EDFB and**
**particularly highlighted the effective**
**contribution of volunteers.**| |---|---| |**Additional information (optional)**
