Chair's Introduction
The Trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 05 February 2026. During the year the Foundation continued to strengthen its role within the Royal Borough of Greenwich by supporting unemployed people, low-income families and vulnerable residents through employability, community engagement and wellbeing initiatives. Despite receiving no grant funding during the year, the charity maintained services through public donations, prudent financial management and the dedication of its volunteers.
Objectives and Public Benefit
Honey & Manny's Foundation exists to relieve unemployment, poverty and social exclusion by providing information, advice, training, employability support and community-based initiatives. Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that all activities undertaken during the year furthered the charity's charitable purposes.
Achievements and Performance
During the year, Honey & Manny’s Foundation continued to deliver practical employment and community support to residents across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, particularly those experiencing unemployment, low income, financial hardship and digital exclusion.
Key achievements during the year included supporting over 75 residents through advice, guidance and employability support; delivering 20 employability and digital skills workshops; assisting 35 jobseekers with CV development, interview preparation and job search activities; and strengthening referral links with local community organisations.
The Foundation also recruited and supported 8 volunteers, providing them with induction, safeguarding awareness and DBS checks where required. This increased the organisation’s capacity and improved its readiness to deliver future community programmes safely and effectively.
A major achievement during the year was the development of Bright Bites & Brilliant Minds, a summer holiday activity and food programme designed to support 60 children from low-income households. The programme brings together nutritious food provision, creative learning, digital skills, confidence building and family engagement, responding directly to the needs of children and families in Greenwich.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is governed by its Board of Trustees, who meet regularly to oversee strategy, finance, safeguarding, compliance and organisational performance. Day-to-day activities

are coordinated by volunteers under the direction of the Trustees. The Foundation continues to strengthen governance through regular policy reviews, risk monitoring and partnership working.
Risk Management
The principal risks facing Honey & Manny’s Foundation during the year included continued cost-of-living pressures affecting beneficiaries, reduced availability of grant funding, increasing operational costs, safeguarding responsibilities, cyber security risks, volunteer recruitment challenges and dependency on limited income streams.
The Trustees have responded by strengthening budgetary controls, diversifying income through community fundraising, developing new partnerships, and actively seeking grant opportunities. Safeguarding remains a key priority, with DBS checks, staff and volunteer briefings, and clear reporting procedures in place. The Foundation is also improving its data protection and cyber security practices to protect beneficiary information and organisational records.
To reduce reliance on a small volunteer base, the Foundation has continued to recruit and train volunteers, while ensuring appropriate supervision and support. The Trustees regularly review risks and take proportionate action to ensure the charity remains resilient, compliant and able to continue serving vulnerable residents across Greenwich.
Financial Review
During the year the Foundation received unrestricted donations of £7,500. Although no grant income was received, careful financial management enabled the charity to continue delivering services. Total expenditure amounted to £7,300, resulting in a surplus of £200 which will be retained to support future charitable activities and improve organisational resilience.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees aim to maintain modest unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet essential operating costs and manage unforeseen expenditure whilst continuing charitable activities.
Future Plans
In 2026, Honey & Manny’s Foundation will focus on strengthening its services, partnerships and long-term sustainability. The Trustees have identified the following priorities:
