## **Appointment of trustees** 

The trustees are elected on an annual basis. 

## **Trustee induction and training** 

We had regular meetings for sharing knowledge and planned events during those meetings. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

To provide support to families and individuals in the borough of Stockport experiencing food / financial poverty by: 

- Supplying and delivering food, toiletries and household goods 

- Referral to other sources of support where appropriate 

## **A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit** 

During the period the following number of clients were helped across Stockport and some areas of South Manchester: 

- Families 965 

- Singles 1241 

- Total Adults 4388 

- Total Children 3661 

Financial donations and supplies came from local individuals, businesses, church networks and social media and grants. 

## **Financial review** 

The trustees have reviewed the accounts and consider them to be satisfactory. 

## **Investment powers and policy** 

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds in a deposit account. 

## **Reserves policy and going concern** 

The balance held in unrestricted reserves on 31[st] March 2025 was £218,182 of which £45,554 are free reserves after allowing for funds tied up in fixed assets. 

The trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserves to meet day to day expenditure. 

The Charity's main source of income is donations and grants. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.

## **CHELWOOD FOODBANK PLUS (STOCKPORT)** 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

We have successfully transferred our assets and bank account from the old charity (1155933) to a CIO and are banking with Lloyds, having closed the Natwest account. 

Our Reporting has become more sophisticated as we have been able to recruit extra volunteers to assist with the data inputting. This will further enable us to partner with other organisations targeting other areas of poverty. By proactively identifying the impact of **data poverty** on our community, we have effectively addressed digital exclusion through the establishment of a dedicated Databank at our Brinnington foodbank. We plan to  have this service across all our foodbanks with more trained digital champions to assist clients with critical online applications and digital forms. In response to our identification of deep **social poverty** among our service users, we aim to recruit a volunteer chaplain to provide essential pastoral and spiritual support, offering a compassionate presence to assist clients through complex personal and social challenges. The **Eco Project** will continue its expansion through the consistent cultivation of fresh vegetables for our foodbank, a strategy that enhances our long-term sustainability by securing a reliable, locally grown food supply. Beyond food production, the project is designed as a catalyst for community participation, specifically targeting the alleviation of social isolation and low self-esteem by providing a space for clients and residents to learn new horticultural skills. A core component of our development plan includes the creation of a dedicated wellbeing area within the project site; this space will serve as a therapeutic resource for clients, volunteers, staff, and the wider community, fostering mental health resilience and social cohesion through a direct connection with nature. We would like to strengthen our partnership to support the development of a new sensory garden and indoor quiet room, at our Brinnington site. This initiative will directly address a critical gap in local infrastructure, as there are currently no comparable facilities available for residents and clients in the immediate area. By providing a tranquil, multisensory environment alongside a calm indoor space, we aim to deliver a high-impact, affordable service that supports parents in managing stress and improving their overall mental health. This project reflects our commitment to holistic community care, ensuring that essential wellbeing resources remain accessible to all, regardless of financial means, while fostering a supportive environment for families within the Brinnington community. 

## **Zarach – Bed Project** 

We have ended our partnership with the charity in Leeds, by mutual agreement as they have decided to change their business model. 

We remain steadfast in our mission to address **bed poverty** , a critical yet often hidden crisis affecting both adults and children in our community. Recognizing that a safe and comfortable place to sleep is 



4 

## **CHELWOOD FOODBANK PLUS (STOCKPORT)** 

fundamental to physical health and emotional wellbeing, we are continuing to provide bedframes, mattresses, and sofabeds. Our strategy provides targeted support for adults and pre- and post-school age children, who are often overlooked in this crisis, acknowledging that sleep security is a vital step toward personal stability and overall health for all. 

**To date we have provided 11 Double beds, 2 single beds, 1 sofa bed, 9 mattresses and 69 items of preloved bedding (eg: duvets, pillows, duvet cover and sheets).** 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting principles and then apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP. 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provision of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHELWOOD FOODBANK PLUS (STOCKPORT) REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 1201702** 

I report on the accounts of the charity, for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 16. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is preparing accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out below. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention : 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records have in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting  requirements of the 2011 Act, 

have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 1 January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **(b) Funds structure** 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 2 restricted funds. 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. 

## **(c) Income recognition** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. Donations in kind constitute food donations with the values estimated by the management committee. 

## **(d) Expenditure Recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below. 

## **(e) Irrecoverable VAT** 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. 

## **(f) Allocation of support and governance costs** 

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs. 

The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 6. 



**CHELWOOD FOODBANK PLUS (STOCKPORT)** 

**10** 

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025** 

## **(g) Costs of raising funds** 

The costs of associated with raising funds are Just Giving fees, website costs and advertising. 

## **(h) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and valued at historical cost. Depreciation is charged on the following basis: 

|Computers & Equipment|25% on cost|
|---|---|
|Vehicles|25% on cost|
|Fixtures & Fitting|25% on cost|
|Portacabin & Improvements to Leased Building|10% on cost|



## **(i) Realised gains and losses** 

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value  at the year end and their varying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **(j) Pensions** 

The charity operates an auto-enrolment pension scheme. It has no liability beyond paying the deductions to the pension company. 

## **(k) Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **(l) Creditors and Provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of the funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured of estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **2. Related party transactions and trustees' expenses and remuneration** 

The trustees all give freely their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind. Expenses paid to the trustees in the period totalled £nil (2024: £nil).
