l. Introduction
1.1 Charitable Objects
Our governlng document states
l. To provide emergencyfood aid to people in Tewkesbury ond surrounding areas in need, hardship or
distress (beneficiaries) who are referred to U5 by authorised portner ogencies.
2: Further to fl) above, to supply goods to beneficiaries, eithei.directly or through agency portners upproved
by the trustees. Goods to include (but not to be limited to)food, including tinned ond dried[oods, to ensure
a heulthy, balanced nutritious diet5ufficientfor 3 days at o time, also clothes. furniture, toys.
3. To do any other thing consistent with the primary purpose of the chority, including (but not limited to),
the provisAOrt of coun5elling ond other advisory services.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commi55ion's general guidance on
public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
1.2 Note on the 'Old' and 'New' Charities
th
A new constitution for this charity was approved by the Charity Commission on 17 November
2023 and approval for the Transfer of Assets IS1051 was received from the Charity Commission
dated 18, March 2024. The new constitution makes the charity a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation ICIOI but serving the same purposes. This change was considered necessary given
the increased scale and costs of the Foodbank's operations plus the need to employ staff and
potentially acquire premises. The new charity, registration number 1205793, commenced
operation on I" April 2024. Both charities have the name Tewkesbury Foodbank. The year
2024125 wa5 a period of dual running of the old and new Bank Accounts to address such issues as
gift aid claims and funds transfers and outstanding HMRC refunds. The separate accounts and
annual reports for the two charities therefore each give an incomplete picture of the year and
need to be read in conjunction with each other.
For the sake of clarity, the combined financial outcome for the year for both the old and new
charity was..

Note that these figures include a restricted Trussell grant of £41,746.80 to cover the cost of a
Citizen's Advice worker. The first five months of the grant1£17,421.151 was spent in the 2024125
financial year. Excluding the remaining balance on this grant the outturn for the year across both
charities was a deficit of 2,018.50.
Page 3of 16

The total cash fund of £219,858.97 was transferred from the old charity along with all Fixtures and
Fitting5 and Food Stock. The majority of the funds continue to be held in a new portfolio of
interest- bearlng notice accounts managed through CAF via their Flagstone Platform which
ensures that the Financial Services Compensation Scheme IFSCSI protects our funds.
1.3 Overview (Executive Summary)
Tewkesbury Foodbank serves the community of Tewkesbury Borough which ha5 a growing
population approaching 100,000. In the last 10 years the Foodbank has been able to meet all
requests for support through the generous help of the local community, churches, businesses and
voluntary associations and the local borough and county councils.
In the financial year 202412025 Tewkesbury Foodbank fulfilled 1581 food vouchers which helped
to feed 3223 people of which 1081 were children. Overall, this was a 5% uplift compared to
2023124.
This provision was made possible by the Foodbank receiving food donations valued at £41,998. In
addition, cash donations and grants enabled us to make purchases of food amounting to £19,382,
and to supply clients with vouchers for fresh vegetables and meat at a cost of £33,719. We
proviaed additional vouchers as part of our Christmas blessings initiative which amounted to
£9,850 which are included in the figures above. We also supplied fuel vouchers largely funded by
the Fuelbank Foundation from their funds. The total cash expenditure on meeting client needs
was £63,298. This continued the shift in the 'business model, of the Foodbank where increasingly
we are more reliant on cash donations and grants than gifts of food.
The Foodbank Centre is operated by its team of dedicated volunteers who run the Centre five
mornings a week, and manage the warehouse, food purchasing, collection and distribution
activities. The Foodbank employs, on a part-time basis, a project manager and deputy project
manager to manage the service to clients and our large team of volunteer5. The total costs of
running the Centre and warehouse, including utility bills, and vehicles was £23,867.
The Foodbank is grateful for the local individuals, businesses and churches who provided regular
and ad hoc donations on which we claim Gift Aid when appropriate. In addition, in 2024 the
Foodbank received a £3,000 grant from Gloucestershire County Council in response to the cost-of-
living crisis. Total income for the charity was £65,231 plus a 'Financial Inclusion, grant of £41,746
from Trussell to fund a Citizens Advice worker for twelve months lonly five months of which was
paid out in the 2024/25 financial year at a cost of £17,421). Total income was £110,991.73. If we
exclude the balance of the Financial Inclusion grant to be carried forward into 2025126, the net
position for the year wa5 a deficit of £2018.50 which was funded from reserves.

2. Activities & Achievements
2.1 Outputs & Outcomes
The main focus of our activities is providing three days, worth of food (nine meals) for those in
food crisis for whatever reason. Our clients may be assessed through independent partner or
referral agencies who refer them to us via a voucher system. These agencies include doctorfs
surgeries, schools, and other local charities. In the last year, the Foodbank has transitioned to
providing the majority of vouchers through an in-house service but using the same criteria as
applied by our referral agency partners with regard to client eligibility.
Almost all vouchers are now received via the Trussell's electronic referral system (E-vouchersl
which has reduced the need to handle paper vouchers. The electronic system also gives us a real
time overview of the number of vouchers that have been issued which helps US to react to the
expected footfall. We continue to operate on a "Collection Only" rather than a "Delivery Only" or
hybrid model as our catchment area is quite local and many clients are within walking distance.
We can sometimes deliver parcels to those who have mobility or health issues.
In the last year we have seen a further increase in the level of demand. The number of food
vouchers fulfilled rose from 1532 in 202312024 to 1582 in'202412025, a 3.3% increase. In the last
four years, however, the number of vouchers has grown by 182%, a disturbing increase and not
out of line with other foodbanks around the country. The ndmber of people helped rose from
3365 to 3441 of which approximately one-third were children under 16. In practical terms the
Foodbank provided 30,000 meals in 2024125.
Half of our clients151Uhl were single people which 15 at least in part due to the benefits system
treating such people less well than households with children. Over 65s are a Small proportion of
clients16°Al but the fastest growing age segment. 80A of clients were homeless or NFA (No Fixed
Abodel. Our own figures indicate that food poverty is not going away any time soon.
We have a very cost-effective arrangement for the bulk purchasing of food with Iceland
International and we also take the opportunity of 'special deals, with other local suppliers. In
addition to providing a suitable food parcel to each client and their family, food voucher5 enable
our clients to obtain fresh food at a local greengrocers and butchers. We also supply gas and
electricity top UP5 to help with fuel bills. The vouchers provide important additional help to clients
in difficult circumstances. We also provide a limited range of toiletries such as soap/handwash,
shampoo, shower gel, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, washing up liquid and soap powder.
We continued with our Christmas blessings initiative which is now embedded as part of our annual
plan. Every household received Aldi gift cards las they exclude alcohol, tobacco and lottery
tickets). We chose these cards because of the value for money. In total 151 families1241 adults
and 300 children) were recipients of this initiative.
The total cost of purchased food, fresh food, energy vouchers, Aldi Gift cards and other essentials
was £63,298 which significantly exceeded the value of food donated of £41,988. We received a
grant of £3,000 from Gloucestershire County Co(Ancil during the financial year. This grant was
specifically for Food purchases.

When clients visit to collect parcels and vouchers, we have always looked for opportunities to
discuss their circumstances and where appropriate to signpost them to other agencies that may
offer assistance. However, we have lacked the staff and skills to give more in-depth advice and so
we investigated how we may provide greater assistance by working with the Trussell's Financial
Inclusion project. This resulted in the Trust making us an initial two-year grant to employ a full time
Citizen's Advice Worker to provide help to clients on issues such as benefits, debt, and housing. This
service started in January 2025. It is too early to give a detailed assessment of this new service but
there have been some promising conversations with clients that have resulted in material
improvement in their financial position and hence a reduced need for the Foodbank.
2.2 The Roles & Contributions of Volunteers
In the last year we have relied on our volunteer team of around 45 members to operate the
Foodbank. There are 5 teams of 3 or 4 volunteers who each run the Foodbank one mornlng a week.
Each team has a team leader. A team of volunteers work at the warehouse, collecting and sorting
food and transferring stock from the warehouse to the Centre. The Project Manager is in overall
charge of operatlons supported by a Steering Group of the team leaders and the Treasurer. With
the increasing scale of our oper3tions, and the need to cover initiatives like the introduction of the
Citizen's Advice worker, we appointed a part-time paid Deputy Project Manager in July 2024 to help
in managing the overall workload and particularly the operation of the daily teams. This has proved
beneficial to the operation of the Centre and to the service to clients.
We are grateful to all our volunteers for their ongoing commitment to the Foodbank and the
compassion that Is shown to our clients. The combination of time, energy and expertise has enabled
us to meet the needs of our increasing number of clients.
2.3 Performance Indicators
The Foodbank's essential performance target is to provide food to every client who comes to the
Foodbank, and we continued to achieve this in 2024125. We provided 3,441 food parce15 sufficient
for 30,000 meals. We have gone beyond this core objective by also providing fresh food and fuel
vouchers and supplementary provisions such as through the Chrlstmas blessings initiative.
The Foodbank aims to provide 'emergency food, not long-term support. We therefore monitor the
number of visits made by each client. In 2024125 the average number of visits by clients was three,
which is in line with our aim. We do, however, support clients whose particular circumstances mean
they need to make more visits over a longer period, for example due to serious health problems.
A key target in the light of food inflation has been to carefully manage our food purchases. In the
last year or so we have managed to reduce the cost per kilogram of purchased food from around
£2.40 to just under £2.00 by a bulk purchaslng agreement.
The Foodbank set itself a target ratio of 40Yo/60% in terms of running costs to client expenditure,
not including food that is donated, and this was achieved in 2024125.
Ptsge 6of 16

2.4 Looking Ahead
The Foodbank has seen the number of vouchers fulfilled almost double over the last four years. At
the same time there has been a levelling off in the value of food donations which has been in part
offset by an increase in cash donations and grants. It is difficult to predict how demand may
change over the next two to three years but there is no clear evidence to indicate that food
poverty in the UK will reduce during this period and may indeed affect yet more people. Our
current projection is that the Foodbank will continue to run at a modest deficit during this period,
but this can be covered by our reserves.
The Foodbank maintains a 'forward plan, of activities. This identifies various one-off and ongoing
actions to sustain the service provided to clients such a5-
al Monthly tracking of client demand in terms of vouchers proce55ed and stock levels in order
to identify trends and manage the financial implications.
bl Ongoing recruitment and tralning of volunteers in order to maintain a high quality of
service.
cl Developing our social media to reach out to current and potential donors.
dl Embedding the new Financial Inclusion service provided with CAB to help client5 access
further means of support.
We have successfully implemented the new charity as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation
ICIO), but we need to wind-up the old charity once all payroll matters are transferred and all
possible donors have had their standing orders amended,
We continue to keep aware of possible alternative properties coming onto the local market that
would provide larger suitable accommodation for the Foodbank.
3. Financial Review
3.1 Financial Position
On 31" March 2025 we held cash funds of £226,263.75, and Food stock of 4,767kg.
Our total income for this financial period was £69244.93. Total expenses were £87,166, which was
under our anticipated budget. These figures exclude the restricted Financial Inclusion grant of
£41,746 of which £17,421 had been paid to Citizens Advice by the end of the financial year.
The Foodbank 15 grateful for the Support from Gloucestershire County Council this year. However,
Brants from the Household Support Fund which are made on a one-year basis and of variable
amounts present a challenge to us and other charities in managing finances on a consistent basis.
The majority of our cash funds are held in a portfolio of notice accounts managed through CAF via
their Flagstone Platform. This ensures that our funds are protected by the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme IFSCSI. The accounts are regularly monitored to benefit from changes in
interest rates.
3.2 Details of Any Funds Materially in Deficit
The Charity has no funds which are materially in deficit.
Ptsge 7 of 16

3.3 Policy on Reserves
A review of our reserves policy is carried out each year. The Reserves Policy addresses the
uncertainties in our financial planning, notably..
The future number of voucher5 and beneficiaries - the number of vouchers fulfilled increased
by 46°A in 2022123, a further 21¥0 in 2023124, and over 3% in 2024125. Future demand on the
Foodbank remains challenging to estimate.
There has been significant volatility in the level of financial donations in the last 3 years,
particularly non-recurring grants.
The Financial Inclusion grant is only for two years. If the Foodbank continues the service
beyond that period, it will need additional funds in excess of £40,000 per annum.
There are significant questions at the present time on the direction of Government welfare
policy and how this will impact the number living in poverty.
The budget for the 2025/26 year show5 a potential deficit of around £26,000 which will need to be
covered from reserves. It is reasonable to expect that deficits will need to be covered for at least
the next two to three years even while efforts are made to raise additional funds.
The Reserves Policy is set out under the following headings..
l. Cash Flow This covers mismatches in timing between the income and expenditure and
provides for 4 months expenditure on the Centre's overheads and its 'baseline' figure for
purchases.
2. Contingencies
Contingencies address specific risks in the risk register which could
potentially seriously impact the Foodbank's operations. Notable risks include flooding or
fire damaging the Centre and/or the warehouse, and increased rental costs.
3. Commltments - The Trustees have set aside funds to ensure we could sustain the Financial
Inclusion project beyond the initial two-year grant period. We have provided an additional
2 years of funding to the value of £80,000 recognising that it will take time to build up new
sources of funds to support this initiative long-term.
4. Conservation The conservation figlsre includes a provision for projected annual budget
deficits. We expect to run deficits of around £25,000 in each of the next three years while
we seek to raise additional funds. The conservation figure also includes what is left over in
the current reserves once we have allocated funds to cover deficits and the above three
categories.
The Trustees have therefore set the following totals for the Reserves policy for 202512026..
Cash flow
£35,000
Contingencies
£15,000
Commitments
£80.000
Conservation (budget deficitsl £75,000
Total
£205,000
Current unrestricted cash funds £212,000
Conservation IBalancel
£7,000
Page 8 of 16

Given the uncertainty rega rding both future income and expenditure we believe this is a reasonable
allocation of our reserves and ensures we can maintain services over the next 3 years.
The level of reserves will be reviewed on a regular basis by the Trustees to ensure that the funds are
appropriate to fulfil our continuing financial obligations.
3.4 Description of the Principal Risks Facing the Charity
The Charity maintains a Risk Register which identifies the risks to which the Charity is exposed, and
the actions proposed to eliminate or mitigate those risks. It is compiled in the light of the guidance
provided by the Charity Commission's document 'CC26- Charities and Risk ManaL7ement'. The Risk
Register is reviewed on a Minimum quarterly basis and reported at Trustees meetings. Trustees or
staff are allocated responsibility for specific risks. The current Risk Register identifies risks under
the following headings:
Governance - The major risk in the year was the transition to the new CIO charity from 1st
April 2024. The transition has been achieved without major issues although there have been
delays in transitioning the payroll arrangements with HMRC and in getting donors to change
their standing orders from the old charity. The Trustees manage a strategic or forward plan
to address the overall governance and direction of the charity in the light of identified risks.
Operations - the major risks are around maintaining the required number and skills of
volunteers, ensuring adequate food stocks, and optimi5ing the value for money of food
purchases. There is a risk around the ongoing rental availability of the Centre premises as
well as it5 vulnerability to flooding although the latter can in part be mitigated by insurance.
Financial- the volatility in income and potential additional expenditures have been identified
above underthe Reserves Policy. Careful management ofthe budget and makingappropriate
re-forecasts is a key mitigation task. The shifting balance from food to cash donations by the
Foodbank's supporters has an impact on linances with the need to plan for increased
purchases of food.
Client relationships the Charity is committed to providing a good experience for clients.
We work to ensure that all clients are treated with respect and that food parcels are
appropriate to their needs.
External risks these are risks beyond the Charity's direct control but can have a major
impact on the Foodbank, such as changes in government welfare policy, inflation, or another
pandemic. These risks require the Charity to provide for agility and resilience in its operations
and finances.
Compliance- the Charity must continue to meet its Compliance obligations in terms of filing
returns and ensuring it meets other legal and regulatory requirements such as safeguarding
and health and safety. These risks are being addressed by appointing a trustee to have
specific oversight of each area of compliance and good practice.
3.5 Remuneration of Trustees
All Trustee5 act in a voluntary capacity and receive no remuneration or other material benefits from
their services to the Charity.
Out-of-pocket expenses necessarlly and reasonably incurred by Trustees in promoting the purposes
of the Charity are reimbursed.
