TTr￿ees. Annual Report 2024
'Challenging' was the word most often ￿Sed during the year. We knew our income was
likely to suffer- mostly due to the hard times experienced byour supporters - but we
carried on and ensured all those who attended our Soup runs were well fed with a
nutritious and tasty mea]. To achieve this we were even more judicious than usual
when purchasing food - always being mindful of our 'mantra' since 'Day One, _
Quality must come first. Fortunate]y. we can negotiate quite well, and so we di
ensuring that we were able to provide what was required within our budgeL
We received much support from Wm Morrison's Superniarkets- with discount on the
food we buy as well as donations in the forni of FAster eggs and chocolates - required
.41
for our 'Chox 'n' SO￿ campaign prior to Christnw. We also reached out to the many
schools, churches, busine&ses and individuals within the Bradford area and they
responded well. We were aware that our regular meat bill was higher than it could
have been so we sourced a larger supplier and were able to take advantage of both
their generosity and economie advantage.
We are meeting people of many different nationalities - many with stories to tell -
but theyall have at least one thing in common: theyneed feeding, and we kDoWth￿re
most appreciative of what we provide. At least once a year we travel to another county
aDd load up our vehicle with as many new land bigh qualityl socks, hats, gloves,
scarves and underwear. Occasionally, small tents and bedding are required - again,
we negotiate good prices, sometimes with no eharge.
We have the same team ofvolunteers [including one person who we used to feedj that
we have had for many years and their dedication to the work we do is much
appreciated by all.
There were no serious incidents to report between January and December 2024.
