STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and accounting standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, UK GAAP).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP);
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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 and activities
The duties of Glasgow SE Foodbank are carried out within South-East Glasgow and the surrounding areas promoting a Christian ethos, supporting values and principles which promote social inclusion and anti-discriminatory practices.
The objects as stated in the Deed are:
-
(a) to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick, and to relieve their distress in the Glasgow South East area as generally recognised by Social Work departments. These persons will generally be in a state of crisis, and will be referred to Glasgow SE Foodbank by various welfare organisations.
-
(b) to promote and fulfil such other similar charitable purposes beneficial to the community in the Glasgow South East area as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.
-
(c) (Through (a) and (b) above) to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the Schedule.
In our work to relieve the poverty of residents in South-East Glasgow, we aim to:
-
advance environmental protection by minimising food waste including, where appropriate to divert food from waste disposal to those individuals in need.
-
advance health through increased access to healthy eating options.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
A small team of exceptionally dedicated and enthusiastic staff and volunteers who are outstanding in their commitment runs the charity and all give generously of their time and expertise. This is what makes us able to achieve all that we do, and the trustees wish to take this opportunity to record our recognition and sincere thanks for everyone's contributions no matter what they are.
The charity is dependent on the support of volunteers who provided approximately 4,300 hours of unpaid service during the year.
Achievements and performance
2024 was a year of consecutive changes. Our manag the development and growth of the Foodbank and its networks, retired at the end of June 2024.

This post is funded through Trussell, to help foodbanks transition to become both advice centres and food hubs, thereby reducing the risk of crisis situations developing and hence the need for food aid.
Trussell has continued to provide funding to enable us to sign Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for financial inclusion projects ~~with: Castlemilk Law Centre (for a legal adviser 1 day per week); and both Castlemilk (1 day per week) and Bridgeton (2 da~~ ys

~~per week) Citizen’s Advice Bureau, to cover each of the 3 days we are open. Having these welfare rights advisors on~~ site provides people with immediate access to advice and guidance to help people out of poverty. In addition we have been able to offer the service of a Community Link Worker to support those who use the foodbank with their mental and physical health and wellbeing through linking clients with appropriate services.
Volunteers have been upskilled to signpost people to access relevant financial advice and local support services. We continue giving fuel advice to families and processing fuel vouchers.
We are constantly working to improve our services, by taking on board the advice of those who have lived experience of using them. Two of our Trustees have such lived experience.
A major element of our work continues to be building networks in our local communities and with the agencies that can help us identify local needs and those who would benefit from our support. Govanhill is an area of extreme deprivation, characterised as a ‘super-diverse’ neighbourhood with long-standing and more recent international communities of in-migrants including a significant Roma community. It is estimated that 88 languages are spoken in the area – constituting another significant challenge for outreach and in our service provision.
We also continue to provide welfare support to our local primary schools, guided by requests from the school’s teaching staff.
The past year has again been a busy one for Glasgow SE Foodbank, and we owe a great debt of thanks to our volunteers, our 60 partner referral agencies, the venue who hosts our distribution center and every person or business who has donated food or money in 2024/25.
From April 2024 - March 2025 there was a 28% decrease in the total number of individuals receiving food and toiletries compared to the previous year with a total of 6,279 (2024 – 8,708) people fed which is split between 3,816 (2024 – 5,184) adults and 2,463 (2024 – 3,524) children. A total of 532 (2024 – 532) people using our service in the period were homeless. The main reason for the significant reduction in food referrals is that the agency referring the biggest number of clients to the foodbank had an inappropriate approach to the referral process which was addressed with them.
Most people attending the foodbank receive a food parcel including 3 days’ worth of food, with the exception of single people who receive a 6-day provision as the welfare system provides them with significantly less than others receive.
Donations of food during the year amounted to an incredible 37 tonnes (2024 – 45 tonnes) with 39 tonnes (2024 – 53 tonnes) of food distributed leaving us at the year-end with no surplus food. Less than 0.01% of donated food was out of date/ spoiled.
Financial review
At the year end the Charity held £205,089 (2024 - £ 270,795) in reserves, of which £61,113 is restricted for specific purposes only and £143,976 is unrestricted for use as the Trustees see fit. Free reserves not invested in tangible fixed assets totalled £133,809 (2024 - £225,342).
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Reserves policy
The trustees aim towards maintaining unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 6 months of unrestricted expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Glasgow SE Foodbank is a Scottish charitable incorporated organisation (Charity number SC043981). The address of the registered office is given on page 1 of these financial statements.
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 £.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Glasgow SE Foodbank meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the next 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
1.3 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 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.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
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.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
[(Continued)]
1.5 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 allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
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.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost or valuation net of accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold buildings 50 years Motor vehicles 5 years Computer equipment 3 years
1.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.8 Impairment of non-current 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 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
12
GLASGOW SE FOODBANK
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost
1.11 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans that are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.12 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.13 Retirement benefits
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. There were no outstanding contributions at year-end.
1.14 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements
1.15 Grants payable to other organisations
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. These are accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award.
1.16 Taxation
The charity is not liable to income tax or capital gains tax on its charitable activities. The charity is also not registered for VAT, and any expenditure includes any VAT charged.
- 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
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 on-going 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.
