Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
For the public benefit, the preventson or relief of poverty or financial hardship within
Todmorden and surrounding areas, primarity through the provision of food, essential items.
and through the provision of signposting to support agencies and charities.
The charity's main actlvities
Todmorden Food Drop In is a foolbank. which runs weekly sessions for the prevention or
relief of poverty or financial hardship within Todmorden and s￿￿ounding areas. This is
carried out primarity through the provision of food. essential items and signposting to other
support agencies and charities.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activit￿S the Trustees have given full
consideralion lo the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in
particular alleviating the effects of food povety in our area.
Achievements and Perforniance
Food parcels giv•n out and statlstlcal data
During the year ending 31 May 2024 8064 parcels were given out, which provided
food for a totsl of 12360 adults and 20424 children. The total number of service users
registered as at the end of May was 364. ofwhom a small number attended each
week, a greater number every 2 or 3 weeks, some very occasionally and many only
once. The ages of service users varied from 16 to over 80, Ihe large majority being
between 30 and 60. Service users, housing situation was mainly Council, Housing
Association or prtvately rented properties. with a significant minority owning their own
propety, and the remainder in hostels, refugee sponsors, homes, friends or family's
homes. There were 3 rough sleepefs. The Tnaiorty were unemployed for a wide
range of ￿aSonS. including ill-health and retirement. but around 16°/0 were in some
type of employment. 18Vo reported a disability.
Café provision
Our café is in many ways the hub of the f￿1bank.lI is where people sit together and
wait for their food par￿ls. In all of the surveys carried out with service users it has
scored very highty in satisfaction scores. 11 s often the only time some of our people
meet with and talk wth others. Run by a special team of4 volunteers each Saturday,
all of the food and drink is free. We offer hol drinks and juice, ham and cheese
sandwiches. quiche arKI cakes and biscuils. In the winter we do hot d¢yJs. With our
increasingly high numbers it remains a challenge. We were very grateful to receive a
Lottery grant of £20,000 over 2 years which will meet the costs of this.
Bedding and other provisions
We have a￿ayS tried lo provide the people who come to us with extra essential
items Whe￿ possible. This includes emergency bedding, clothing and other
household items.•Wilh the cost-of-living crisis, demand for warm bedding and

clothing subslantially increased which put pressure on our volunteers and our
finances. We had a very good response to a public appeal for bedding and clothing
and subsequently only needed to spend £4000 of our own funds to meet demand.
We ran our Winler Supplies project as usual between October and February and a
crowdfunding appeal raised £1900. Other donations meant that we had enough
money io buy what was needed. During the winter we fulfilled 126 requests for
bedding, many of which were for large families and most of which were from new
service users. For the rest of the year. we have continued to deal wilh requests on a
weekly basis as they've come In. We are grateful to all those who donated - both
nancially and with bedding and clothing.
Toiletries and other additional items
The food drop-ln prOV￿eS a range of toiletries incI￿11ng soap. hair products, dental
hygiene products and deodorants. People can chwse up to three of these items after
they have chosen Iheir allocated amount from the food list. If someone needs more,
for any particular reason, we will always try lo acComm(￿late them. The range
includes men's shaving gel, women s sanitary items and inconb"nence wear.
We also provide nappies from size 1 to 6, laundry pods for up lo four wash loads and
toilet rolls
Christmas parcels
Chnstmas can be challenging and a ts.me of increased financial pressure, particularly
for families. To support our community and spread some 'Christmas cheerf the Food
Drop-in offers an additional bag of Christmas foods to each caller on the last
Saturday before Christmas. The bags include a mixture of sweet and savoury foods
such as Christmas cake, pudding, mince pies, biscuils. chocolates and ham. An
appeal is made via Facebook and the press in the run up to Christmas, and many
items are donated by local individuaLs, families, community and religious groups,
schools and businesses. Other items are added to the drop-in's weekly orders.
Another additional cost was incurred last year as a storage room was hired to store
the bags in. Volunteers contribute additional time lo pack the packs. In 2023 the two
weeks before Christmas were very busy with lotals of 200 and 199 individual orders.
On 24 December 2023, 210 Chnstmas bags were given to service users.
Advlce services provision
Todmorden Food Drop in rents space each Saturday for different advice agencies to
come in and help and support the people who come to us. They are not part of the
foodbank and are completely independent, but we provide the space. Each agency
omes once a month. They are Disabilty Support Cakjerdale, Tod Support and
Newground Together. We've recentty been Joined by Safespace - an offshoot of
Healthy Minds.
Disabili
Su
ort
They have supported 180 people dunng this year. The bulk of their work has been
around benefits {56), PIP applications1561. PIP appeals112). housing1281 and
energy1181.
New
round To
ether
Newground Together have seen on average 6 people each Saturday session. From

December onwards the main focus of their work has been around energy vouchers
and they gave out 63.
Tod Su
The work of Tod Support has massively increased since taking on the monthty advice
session. From March - 2023 to April 2024 there were 71 people directly helped by
Tod Support via the Drop In. The￿ was also additional support given with school
uniforms and other direct financial help.
We are very grateful to all the volunteers and slaff from the advice agencies for Ihe
work they do to support the Drop In.
Donation points and community assistan
The Food Drop In is very active. including on social media {Facebook and our
websilel, telling our generous community whal we need in terms of food, money and
at certain times of the year. cold weather items like wam coals. We have donation
points for cash and food in a variety of Socations across our catchment area of
Todmorden, Hebden Bndge and Ihe surrounding areas. This includes cash donation
boxes in wholefcod shops and at a popular members cooperative and music venue
which regularly encourages members and guesls to make donations al their events.
We also hold a regular and well supported Christmas Street Collection at
Todmorden's busy market and ad hoc collections at local events to which we are
invited. We publicise regularfy collect from food donation points across our area
including well supported ones in Hebden Bridge Coop. the local library and the lobby
of the community college where we hokl our Saturday Food Drop In. We particularly
welcome the support of T¢)Jmorden supermarket Morrison's through their pre-packed
food parcel programme which enables customers to purchase bags of items matched
to our specific needs, as part of their weekly shop. Regular donations are also
received from faith and community groups across OLsr area as well as from schools,
espeaally al harvest festival time and Christmas.
Volunt•ers
Since opening in 2013 the Food Drop in has maintained a team of over 70
volunteers. In the period ofthis annual report. we had 75. They are drawn from a
range of different backgrounds- retired at)d in work. We have roles for people of all
abilities. We've been very fortunate to have a solid team of volunteers, with little turn
over, although new recruits are always welcome - particularly younger people. We
have no paid staff. and the volunteers undertake a range of different roles. The main
thrust of the volunteer work is on a Saturday. when we need 25 people for the service
to function fully. These jobs are in reCept￿n and administration, regislralion of new
service users, a team of runners and packers and running our café. On Fridays we
need 9 volunteers lo prepare the food storage unit and café for the following day
when we open. Midweek sees volunteers driving lo collect food and other purchases
from a range of drfferent places. In addilion, we have the trustees who have a range
of more managerial functKJns induding volunteer coordination. fundraising,
administration. financbal managemenl elc. We re very proud of all our volunteers.

TODMORDEN FOOD DROP IN
Charity Reg No 1201934
I reportto the trustees ofTodmorden Food Drop In on my
examination of their accounts for the year ended 31" May 2024.
The Trustees have requested that an independent examination be carried out for the year
ending 31st May 2024.
Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the
requirements of the Charities Act 2011 I'the Act'l. The trustees consider that an audit is
not required for this year as their income is below I million and that an independent
examination is appropriate.
I report in respect of my examination of the organisation's accounts carried out under
section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the
applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 1451511bl of the Act.
Basis of Examination
My examination included the review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and
a comparison of accounts with those records. It also took consideration of any unusual items
in the accounts of which there were none. The procedures carried out do not provide all the
evidence required for the purposes of an audit and therefore no opinion is given on the 'true
and fair view,, this is not a matter for the independent examination.
Independent Examiner's Statement
The general bookkeeping is carried out by the treasurer. Neil Howarth, using QuickBooks
online accountin8 software. The bookkeeping is of a high standard, bank and control account5
are reconciled regularly, and financial procedures are followed at all times.
The board have welcomed financial controls and agreed that all financial procedures are in
line with those required by a registered charity to ensure the correct recording of financial
infor mation and protect the organisation and trustees going foThvard.
The organisation does not have a reserves policy but will be reviewing this during the year
ending 31" May 2024. The organisation currently holds reserves that would fund its
overheads and governance costs for 6.4 months.
I can confirm that, in the case of my examination. no material matters have come to my
attention that would give me cause to believe that accounting records were not kept in
respect of the or8anisation as required by sertion 130 of the Act-. or the accounts do not
accord with those records.

I have no other concems and have come across no other matters in connection with the
examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper
understandin8 of the accounts to be reached.
