More importantly, with the huge increase in cost of living, daily e55enlials such as eleclricily. gas and food prices (J"usl lo name a few) have massively increased over the month. This is a challenge we have lo deal with as an organisalion ourselves. We had to make difficult decisions Ihroughoul Ihe year lo direct our attention and resources lo key and priority caus8S. As a custom our food bank project continuously runs Ihfoughout the year.11 is an important aspect ol our organisalion. To provide food to families and all those in thé community who are experiencing financial hardship. In 2024-2025 we partnered with DHL lo deliver a food distribution program which this project was extremely successful as we were able lo bnng aid lo many homeless people.
