Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charlty during the year Rhythms of Llfe have now expanded our core project, our food distribution 88rvice to help th08e on a low income a8 well as the homeless community. We have had to do this as we have found there has been a huge increase in the amount of people living below the poverty line. Our service users now include young single mothers, single men, survivors of domestic abuse as well as our regular homeless sepdice users. These service users are very vulnerable and need a lot support. We try to offer as much as we can and where we can. The number of meals served this year has yet again increased as result of oui new demographic. We continue to provide surplus food and meals to local menl women's hostels, housing associations tenants and women's shelters. This year we have served on average 384,000 meals. This includes hot meals and food parcels. We have now moved to a kitchen space based in West London. This has allowed us to prepare more meals and expand our services to cater to more service users. We were awarded a 4 star rating for our food preparation and hygiene. Although we now have a kitchen space, we are still looking for a permanent home where we can run our day-to-day operations. At present, we are renting a warehouse space, but are looking into other council community based rentals, as it would give us long term stability to continue our work. This year we continued to host CSR days with our regular corporate sponsors. We also welcomed many volunteers from home and abroad via internshipslErasmus, which provided them with a valuable insight into the third sector and how we work. Above all once again, we would like to reiterate that Rhythms of Life's greatest achievement is providing sustenance and support to our ever-growing service users. We will continue to do so as long as we can. TAR March 2012
