						purchase a second-hand van with a tail-lift with funds received from the
						National Lottery Fund. The new van allowed us to distribute food to all

Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity			The trustees and management decided that 2020 should be a year of consolidation.
during the	year		This decision was taken to take stock and determine the best way	to
			move forward after recent years ofexpansion beyond the charity's
			expectation.
			However, due to the pandemic and the rising need in the communities,
			we moved forward with the opening of new pop-up shops across	Ipswich
			while maintaining those in Felixstowe and the surrounding areas.
			We received significant funding from the National Lottery Fund and many
			donations from local groups such as Felixstowe Lions and Rotary	clubs.
			The result of maintaining sales, expanding revenue sources, and
			receiving donations has achieved a more robust financial position. We
			have been able to maintain and exceed our level of reserves and	we felt
			this was prudent in view ofthe changing landscape due to the Covid-19
			infections.
			We continued to make payment for free breakfasts for the pupils	at two
			local schools as we have done for several years now.
			In addition, we were able to make significant donations to private	local
			individuals in extreme need.
			At Christmas we once again supplied boxes of gifts to residents at local
			care and nursing home, families referred by local health visitors,	housing
			groups etc. This year we worked with Felixstowe Salvation Army	to assist
			with distribution.
			On Christmas Eve evening we redistributed a large amount ofexcess
			food received from supermarkets to Felixstowe residents; these food and
			gifts were distributed from two of our Felixstowe pop-up shop locations.
			At the same time, we expanded our services as above and were
			therefore able to assist even more people.
			Along with maintaining the recent expansion and working towards
			offering the BASIC LIFE Community Pop-up Shops to more rural settings, the charity continues to work towards strengthening the	'core' of
			the charity but developing the staff infrastructure and policies. It	is
			agreed that building resilience in the context of post-COVID community
			support.
			In conclusion, in an unprecedented year, the charity provided an
			enormous amount of help to the communities we serve. Being the only
			local charity, which remained open during the pandemic, we were able to
			aid innumerable people in need.
