## **Trustees** 

Lauren Mittell Jayne Clark-Denyer Mx Ruth Hazel Keri Jarvis 

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period 31 August 2024 to 30 August 2025 

The financial statements comply with the charity’s governing document, Charity Commission guidance on receipts and payments accounts, and applicable law. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Southend Care Bank  is a registered Charity (CIO) with the Charity Commission governed by a constituion. 

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed [for a term of three years] by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the CIO is the alleviation of the effects of hygiene poverty by way of operating a personal care and hygiene bank in the City of Southend-on-Sea. 

The Care Bank will serve the community primarily, but not exclusively, by providing free personal hygiene and household products for adults and children on a self-referral basis. 



Docusign Envelope ID: DC67CF1B-8E03-8AF5-8203-D08B1BEC9A18 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The charity provided for 24 sessions during this period, 2 a month, which is the usual schedule we have committed to. 

We also provided hygiene bags to local primary schools for school holidays over this period, a summary of which is: 

- 200 bags provided in December 2024 

- 401 bags provided prior to the 2025 school holidays 

During this period we increased the number of schools that we work with to offer free toiletry bags to, and offered a significantly larger number of these. We also reduced activities outside of our core service (such as toys and coats) to protect our culture and volunteer capacities. 

The charity’s work has made a significant difference to many families to alleviate the impacts of hygiene poverty. 

## **Financial review** 

The charity has made a surplus of £28,297 in its second year of being constituted. 

We will endeavour to have enough reserves to cover 6 months of sessions at their current levels and some minor operational costs, therefore around £11,000. 

In addition, to provide for the school holiday bags, this project costs around £4,000 per annum annually at present. 

When there has been a consistent surplus (and this we would define as a running balance of over £15,000 for a period of 6 consecutive months), we will look to consider: 

Adding additional products to the range of services we can offer at existing sessions. Adding further sessions in other locations to expand the service users we can reach. Extending the school outreach programme to a wider reach of schools in the highest deprivation areas. 

The free reserves held as at 30[th] August 2025 were £44,001. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

## **THE SOUTHEND CARE BANK ACCOUNTS** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED** 

**30TH AUGUST 2025** 




Docusign Envelope ID: DC67CF1B-8E03-8AF5-8203-D08B1BEC9A18 

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the Year Ending 30th August 2025** 

## **The Southend Care Bank** 

## **Contact details** 

The Southend Care Bank 28 Westbourne Grove, Wescliff, Essex, SS0 9TQ 

## **Registered Charity Number:** 1204532 

## **Trustees** 

Lauren Mittell Jayne Clark-Denyer Mx Ruth Hazel Keri Jarvis 

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period 31 August 2024 to 30 August 2025 

The financial statements comply with the charity’s governing document, Charity Commission guidance on receipts and payments accounts, and applicable law. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Southend Care Bank  is a registered Charity (CIO) with the Charity Commission governed by a constituion. 

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed [for a term of three years] by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the CIO is the alleviation of the effects of hygiene poverty by way of operating a personal care and hygiene bank in the City of Southend-on-Sea. 

The Care Bank will serve the community primarily, but not exclusively, by providing free personal hygiene and household products for adults and children on a self-referral basis. 



Docusign Envelope ID: DC67CF1B-8E03-8AF5-8203-D08B1BEC9A18 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The charity provided for 24 sessions during this period, 2 a month, which is the usual schedule we have committed to. 

We also provided hygiene bags to local primary schools for school holidays over this period, a summary of which is: 

- 200 bags provided in December 2024 

- 401 bags provided prior to the 2025 school holidays 

During this period we increased the number of schools that we work with to offer free toiletry bags to, and offered a significantly larger number of these. We also reduced activities outside of our core service (such as toys and coats) to protect our culture and volunteer capacities. 

The charity’s work has made a significant difference to many families to alleviate the impacts of hygiene poverty. 

## **Financial review** 

The charity has made a surplus of £28,297 in its second year of being constituted. 

We will endeavour to have enough reserves to cover 6 months of sessions at their current levels and some minor operational costs, therefore around £11,000. 

In addition, to provide for the school holiday bags, this project costs around £4,000 per annum annually at present. 

When there has been a consistent surplus (and this we would define as a running balance of over £15,000 for a period of 6 consecutive months), we will look to consider: 

Adding additional products to the range of services we can offer at existing sessions. Adding further sessions in other locations to expand the service users we can reach. Extending the school outreach programme to a wider reach of schools in the highest deprivation areas. 

The free reserves held as at 30[th] August 2025 were £44,001. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust") for the year ended 30th August 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
