To benefit the residents of Hull by providing activities and facilities in the interests of social welfare, relief of poverty and social inclusion without distinction of gender, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents and to work out in practice positive, holistic encouragement of the Christian faith. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to the purposes for the public benefit, in particular the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts |
Community Centre • Community Caféoffering low-cost healthy meals with a 'pay as you like' option to help relieve food deprivation and isolation. This is open to anyone but primarily it is used by the elderly, unemployed, disabled, and migrant communities. We further offer a 10-unit computer suite and telephone systems to help the community access support or signposted agencies such as the job centre, doctors, social and welfare services. • Community Kitchenenabling our community and other community groups to cook in a safe and controlled environment. This is aimed at relieving poverty and operates in the interests of social welfare. It is used by children, young people, the elderly, migrant communities and traveling communities. We teach food hygiene and healthy cooking to all ages. • Unemployment training. We help those who are unemployed with IT literacy and teach beneficiaries how to use job search sites. We help beneficiaries write C. V’s and covering letters, enabling them to find employment. This also serves people’s general social welfare; it reduces deprivation and poverty and increases social inclusion. Typically, this service helps those from all aspects of our community who are of working age including the unemployed, those coming out of addiction, refugees, and migrants. • Volunteer Program. We run a volunteer program enabling members of our community to serve the community in which they live. This teaches life skills and offers training opportunities to the long term unemployed as well as giving local pensioners, those who are disabled and those not in work an opportunity to serve the community they live in. Our volunteers help run all our activities, thereby enabling our objective. Essential Furniture & Swap Shop • We run a ‘not for profit’ community enterprise that collects, donates and redistributes recycled furniture. Over the last few months this has been reduced due to not having a furniture manager in position. • The essential furniture and swap shop enables people who are in situations of great need such as refugees, victims of domestic violence, families on low incomes and many others to receive essential items of furniture. We have a referral system enabling us to donate to people in need. We also encourage those in need to alleviate their poverty by giving volunteer hours or swapping something not essential for them for somethingtheyconsider essential. Thisprofoundlybreaks cycles of |

| deprivation, providing essential house hold furniture, reducing debt while creating a sense of personal contribution, investment, and self- worth. Elderly Club • Our elderly group meet weekly to build relationships, overcome isolation and improve life quality physically and mentally. We provide a varied weekly programme of activities and provide transport for those who struggle to walk. We have provided 6-day trips, a couple of events, provided 2-course meals each Friday lunch, and given out up to 60 seasonal food parcels at Harvest and Christmas. Children & Youth Groups • Since covid-19 we have had problems restructuring the children and youth work. We have smaller group activities, but these have been more hit and miss. Primarily for those between 7 – 16 years of age. We still offer small groups meetings weekly with varied activities including: cooking and hygiene training, trips to the countryside, games, art, craft, music, sports, dance, drama, education support. • We train some of our young people to become volunteers and help lead the groups when they reach the age of 16 years. • Our aim is to continue to teach our children and young people good citizenship by serving their community through acts of kindness i.e. helping in the community allotment, helping at the Elderly people’s club etc. Summer Family Fun Night • For 13 weeks during the summer months, we gathered between 80 – 150 people together every week for a family fun night. The activity transforms a crime hotspot into a safe controlled environment. We run sports activities for all the family, showcasing local musical artists and providing food. This enables people from different ethnic backgrounds to work together as they volunteer to run the events. It enables social inclusion, reduces crime, and improves the conditions of the neighbourhood. Community Events • We had our usual full day Christmas extravaganza were children and families could visit Santa and obtain lots of stocking fillers and presents at extremely low cost. This is a fundraising event to raise funds to purchase some Christmas goodies for up to 60 elderly residents in our community. Community Garden • The Community Garden and Seed to Supper project serves to break food poverty and encourage healthy eating while teaching new skills. It provides a space for community vegetable growing for children, young people, adults from different backgrounds and the elderly reducing food poverty, teaching citizenship skills and social inclusion. The community garden ran some children’s activities throughout the summer school holidays. EB Samaritan’s Purse (Good Neighbour Fund) • We offer emergency financial and food help to those in extreme difficulty or hardship i.e., house fire, escaping domestic violence, burglary. Reducingcycles of financialpoverty. |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year. |
The charity has continued to provide services and activities which help the residents in the estates of north Hull. Every week the charity has worked with children and young people, the elderly, families living in poverty, the long term unemployed, asylum seekers and refugees, homeless people, ex-offenders and those struggling with drug problems and mental health issues. This has been achieved through several highly effective activities. Children and young people have met more sporadically in smaller groups. We have run an increasingly popular over 60’s club helping and assisting over 50 people, we run a drop in café, community kitchen employment training alongside the furniture and a swap shop enterprise for people in hardship. The ‘seed to supper’ program is going well. We continue to harvest the food from the garden and is used by people within the community. Our most popular event this year was our family fun night. This was carried out over 10 weeks of the summer and gathered between 80 - 150 people per week. The event enabled our community to gather reducing isolation and discrimination. During the event we ran sports programs, singing performances and creative art sessions, we had a BBQ and bouncy castles. The family fun night has been held in a park notorious for crime. The event has seen a reduction in crime through these diversionary activities. Continuing through some covid-19 concerns we continue to assess how we can best serve our community during this difficult period. The food larder is now open 3 days a week with a delivery service of food parcels to those who are self- isolatingor shielding. |
