**activities, projects or**
**services identified in the**
**accounts**|**Community Centre**
•
**Community Café**offering 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 Kitchen**enabling 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.

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.

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.| |**Achievement and Performance**|**Achievement and Performance**| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s
