The annual cost of free meals provided at Federation House in 2022 was £52,235.
PFEW employees, National Board and National Council are offered lunch free of charge when they are working on site. At times, there may be visitors who come to meet board members who may also be offered lunch.
Subscribing officers are not generally entitled to a free meal unless attending a course where this has already been paid for and arranged. Officers on duty are welcome at Federation House for tea and coffee free of charge.
Costs relating to the provision of lunches are incorporated into the Annual Report and Accounts under the “Statement of Financial Activities”.
Correction: the figure provided in this response is in fact the figure for an intercompany recharge between two PFEW departments. The amount allocated to providing free lunch at Federation House is included within this figure, but the figure does not represent the actual costs of providing free lunch.
