STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
Good Through Food is a one tier Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), registered with OSCR on the 24[th] September 2019, and is governed by its constitution.
Appointment of Trustees
The governance and strategic direction of the charity is overseen by a Board of Trustees. The Board may appoint any person to be a charity trustee, at any time, by way of a resolution passed by a majority vote at a board meeting. The maximum numbers of charity trustees in the Board is nine and the minimum is three.
Organisational Structure
The charity is a one tier structure. The people serving on the board are referred to as CHARITY TRUSTEES - and they are also the MEMBERS of the organisation for the purposes of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Under the provisions of the charity’s constitution no one can be a member unless they are also a charity trustee.
OBJECTS & ACTIVITIES
The organisation is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular for:
-
The prevention or relief of poverty in the UK through the provision of funding to charities or organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty directly in their local area, with a particular focus on food poverty.
-
3 -
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
-
To raise awareness of food poverty in the UK by working with high profile public figures and large food and beverage retailers.
-
To advance education through the provision of information and training that focuses on health and wellbeing and getting out of poverty .
ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
Due to Covid most of our partners either closed or didn’t move forward with the Good Through Food campaign. We have put this down to their concern on how they can keep their doors open rather than changing things to help with local food poverty. We had a very quiet year and could not achieve anything due to the current macro environment.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Total receipts for the year was £348 (2020:£2,461) total payments for the year was £459 (2020:£814). The charity had a deficit of (£111) (202:£1,647) which was due to that lack of activity because of Covid.
Reserves Policy
Trustees maintain that they require £500 for normal day-to-day running of the charity for a three months’ period. There are currently very few overhead costs. At the end of the accounting year Good Through Food has reserves of £36.
FUTURE PLANS
We have made the decision to put the charity as dormant until the situation looks more positive.
APPROVAL
This report was approved by the trustees on 29 June 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Good Through Food
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ("the 2005 Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) ("the 2006 Regulations"). The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation (10)(1)(d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act 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 2006 Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks 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 accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter came 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 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations
have not been met, or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
