TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES
The duties of Dundee and Angus Foodbank are carried out within Dundee and the surrounding areas promoting a Christian ethos, supporting values and principles which promote social inclusion and anti-discriminatory practices.
The objectives as stated in the constitution are:
-
the prevention or relief of poverty in Dundee and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively, by providing emergency food supplied to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty
-
to provide services to people who have need of them by reason of their age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by signposting them to additional support services
-
the advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the organisation's statement of faith from time to time
The above objectives and activities are significantly dependent upon the use and support of our many volunteers along with a wide range of agencies who now co-locate within the Foodbank to deliver a range of support services ran under our Pathfinders program which seeks to deal with the underlying root issues driving people to the Foodbank, see appendix for overview of Pathfinder work over the last reporting year.
The Pathfinder program is monitored and reported on through daily, monthly and quarterly reports which are prepared by all of the agencies whom we are working with to ensure that our strategies are being met and delivered through the program including statistical reporting and signposting along with case studies. Measures of success would include the reduction in numbers of people accessing the Foodbank for emergency food provision and the financial gains received by our clients along with other measurable targets through the support provided by our partner agencies.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
A Selection of Case Studies
-
Client required benefit advice, client has had to leave work after developing neurological conditions. Client was advised she could be eligible to Employment Support Allowance as she has been working and paying regular national insurance contributions, and Adult Disability Payment. Client awarded high rate ADP daily living (£110.40 p/ w) standard mobility (£29.20 p/w). Once clients Statutory Sick Pay ended, ESA was awarded immediately at the standard rate. Supported client to completed medical assessment for ESA, award was then uprated to high level support group (£140.55 p/w), being in this group then provided entitlement of Universal Credit (£131.08 p/w). Client benefit entitlement was close to what she was receiving previously whilst able to work. Client relieved with the outcome.
-
I had been notified by another partner service that a male of 30 years of age was in need of addiction support due to issues with crack cocaine the last 9 months. I had spoken to him and his partner on the phone initially and organised for them to come into the foodbank on the Friday I was present. The male had been out of work for a while and currently had no income or a fixed abode, residing at his Grandads house. When the couple arrived I showed them the café explaining the services available and food and drinks available Wed-Friday. After he was able to have some food we went into one of the private rooms available and discussed support on offer. I managed to start up a UC claim as well as organising a future appointment with partner agency “We are with you” at the Hub located close to the Community café. The male has also started volunteering at Fareshare which is part of Transform and is currently stable with his substance use
-
A gentleman who I had previously engaged with last year had approached me at the Foodbank Cafe. This gentleman had previously been attending the Care & Treatment Service after he asked me to look at a wound he had to his left shoulder. He had stopped attending the service in June and stated he has an operation at Ninewells in two weeks time. He stated he was dressing his wound himself. I went over the potential risks of infection and the importance of specialist wound care. During our discussion he refused for me to book him an appointment with the Care & Treatment service or with his GP. Once I was back at the office he phoned to ask me to book him an appointment. He was booked in for wound care at 1140am the following day. He attended and has now had surgery to a cancerous lesion.
-
Client met advisors at food bank and expressed concern that she had moved into her property last October and thought her son had set up her energy account. She realised recently that her son had failed to do this, and she was now worried about going off supply/building up debt.
I visited the client the following week and discussed the situation with her. We established British Gas were the existing supplier. I contacted British Gas for the client and explained her situation; we quickly established that the account did not exist and so we set one up. I submitted meter readings to British Gas that the client had recorded when she moved in.
We discussed tariff options, and I explained that the fixed rate tariff may be best for her situation as she felt the price they were suggested was affordable and she was worried about it increasing. I also advised of methods of payment. The client agreed to a direct debit on fixed tariff, and I helped her set this up.
Confirmation of this was sent to the client prior to me leaving the visit. The client was very glad of the support and felt at ease knowing she was no longer getting behind on her bills and had an affordable payment going forward.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
The past year has again been a busy one for Dundee and Angus Foodbank, both day to day and at board level. From April 2025 - March 2026 there was a 4% decrease in the number of individuals receiving food compared to the previous year with a total of 13,645 people fed which is split between 9647 adults and 3998 children over both Dundee and Angus areas which worked out at 7,061 parcels provided to people in need during the year. During the past year we have continued operating 3 distribution centres, 1 in Dundee and 2 in Angus, in Arbroath but with the closure of Forfar distribution centre at the end of Oct 2025 this brings us down to 1 distribution centre in Angus from which people can collect their food, with the vast majority, 90% coming from our Dundee centre located at the former St. John’s Episcopal Church in the Stobswell area of the city.
Ken Linton, our manager appointed in September 2016, continues the great work of managing and promoting the work of Dundee and Angus Foodbank. Our new community hub and community café opened in July 2023 and houses the Pathfinder Program. During the year we worked with 80 volunteers and had 317 referral agencies around the city and the county of which 193 made referrals during the year. Donations of food during the year amounted to an incredible 109 tonnes (including 28 tonnes purchased). The most significant changes during the past year has been the expansion of the Pathfinder Program, which has meant an increase in staffing and funding and number of people coming through the facilities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW

Free reserves not invested in tangible fixed assets totalled £591,398 (2025 restated £499,491).
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in its operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Reserves Policy

Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources of the charity are donations and grants from various sources including individuals, organisations, and trusts' who provide grants to the charity.
Plans for future periods
The charity has no plans to change anything during the upcoming year and everything will continue as present.

Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DUNDEE AND ANGUS FOODBANK
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2026, which are set out on pages 10 to 26.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The Charity Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a)-(c) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 does not apply.
It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 4 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006
-
have not been met, or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Dundee and Angus Foodbank (SC014954) is a Scottish charitable incorporated organisation. The address of the registered office is 15 Balunie Drive, Dundee, DD4 8PS.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Prior period error
The financial statements for YE25 have been restated to account for errors within restricted expenditure allocation. A detailed review of the impact of these changes can be found within note 24.
1.3 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.4 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.5 Income
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Where goods or services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.
Food donated is valued at an amount set by the trustees which was £1.74 per kg, a corresponding amount is then recognised as expenditure in the period of receipt.
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Freehold buildings | 50 years |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 25% RB |
| Computers | 3 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 years |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Properties whose fair value can be measured reliably are held under the revaluation model and are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of valuation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value of the land and buildings is usually considered to be their market value.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other recognised gains and losses and accumulated in equity, except to the extent that a revaluation gain reverses a revaluation loss previously recognised in net income/ (expenditure) or a revaluation loss exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains recognised in equity; such gains and loss are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

(Continued)
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements:
Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over a period to reflect their estimated useful lives. The applicability of the assumed lives is reviewed annually, taking into account factors such as physical condition, maintenance and obsolescence.
Fixed assets are also assessed as to whether there are indictors of impairment. This assessment involves consideration of the economic viability of the purpose for which the asset is used.
Donated goods
The value of donated goods is now to be brought in to the statement of financial activities as donations received, this figure is calculated by using an average price per tonne of the food. The average price per tonne used is £1.75 per kilo. This is based on the actual cost of food purchased by the charity in the year.
This estimate is deemed reasonable and will be reviewed each year taking into account any external factors such as inflation.
Freehold Property
The property at 116 Albert Street, is held at fair value in accordance with FRS102.The valuations have been made by professional third party qualified valuers. The valuations are reviewed taking into account factors such as physical condition, maintenance, market conditions and obsolescence.

In the prior year, insufficient expenditure was charged to restricted funds, resulting in an overstatement of unrestricted expenditure and an understatement of restricted fund expenditure. The comparative figures have been adjusted to reflect the correct allocation. This restatement has no impact on total net income or total funds.
