Trustees Annual Report 2023
The effect of the emergenry changes introduced during Covid 19 have nad a much more prolonged
and wider effect than might have been anticipated. Durirbg the year many organisations, including
our Local Authority. have adopted working fram home policies. Unfortunately, many of these
changes have been Introduced within POOT leve15 of communicatron resulbng in many of the more
vulnerable members ol our community being confused and left wondering how and where they
seek help. Not surprisingly. this has been the focus of our current work.
The Church The ￿gUlar on-line transmissions of our Sunday Services were established during Covid
with the expeclatlon that this would be a short term provision. Not surprisingly, thi5 is not the case,
and the on-line transmissions are now 3 regular feature of our 5uniSay Worship. This may have a
slightly Inhibi￿nE effect on spontaneity. but this is an Issue we have embrace and adapt to.
The Foodbank Our fooilbank is now well used and established at Conlston Hall in the very heart of
Ouf local communiiy. Three of our outlying distribution centre5 have closed mainly due to not
opening up after Covid and lack of local wjlunteers. However, the work from the central Cgniston
Hall base continues to floutish helped by the provision of a new interview room and the enthusiastic
and tirnely introductron of Coniston Clothes and the Community Fridge. The Hall is open everv
weekday from 10am to 5pm and has IOOS of people passing through it every month. We are
working closely with a national sandwich and fast-food provider who have opened an outlet near to
us which enobles US to receive food on an almost daily basis from their many shops within a 30 mile
radiu5. Including the fresh food via the community Irid8e, our throughput of food bein8 saved frorn
landhll has increa5cd over the year by over 50%
Supportive Housing Supportive Housing is a vital and important work of the charity. Éveiy week
we receive ur8Ènt and desperate calls to help homeless people. Our decissons to look at work
training for the lon8.term unemployed and to plan for additional supportive housing a￿ esscntial.
Ongolng issues with our Local Authorliy over the non-payments of rent have caused problems but
these will bp vigorously pursued. We are currently drawing up plans over the next three to h've
vears lor e5tablishlng a substantral Compassion Centre together with single person and supported
housing units, tralning workshop5 and hopefully with an associated medical centfe. During the
current year, with the help of a Èrant we have set up and equipped an ini￿al training workshop for
metal work, mechanic5 and woodwork. This 15 alongside our existlng Garden Centre providlng
horticultural and retail training which is run on a not-for.PTolit basis.
Cap Money In response to the many people coming to us with debt and finance problems, we have
now Set up a Cap Money centre run by one of our volunteeTS who has been appropriately tfained.
This has been a challenging time for us but 5UPPOrted by our excellent teams of volunteer5, we have
een able to reach out pr3ctical and effective ways to offer sUPPOrt whilst looking how we can
learn from current experiences and plan futu￿ work. Conversely, we are aware of the need to
SUPPOrt and train our teams of volunreers so that we can work effectively within current and
anticipated thanges in government legislation. A very big thank-you to all who continue to help,
support and encourage us at this time.
