Registered Charity Number 1141285
Trustees Annual Report 2024
In our Annual Report of 2023 the effect of working changes introduced following Covid 19 were
commented upon. paiticularly the pracrice of home working. These changes have had a serious and
more extended effeci over the past year. The main locu5 of all our work and minisiry through the
Church, the Foodbank and supported housing is largely lace to face. So many ol the people and
families we reach out to need Lhat personal contait and many are noi comloitable at speaking and
explaining their personal problems over the telephone. In addition we have had a very substanD'al
fall 0136 % fall in our donations and income. I believe that most charities are experiencing similar
pressures. Some tharities have increased their adverbsing ond making use of prolessional fund
rJising services. We do not wish to move In ihat direction.
The Church Our Church is the backbone of our work and mjnistry. We have contrnued the on-line
transinissions ol the Sunday Woiship and the Friday evening meeting for prayer, study aiid fellowship
remains a vital part of oui work. It is interesting to note that although we never take an offering in
any of our church meeiings. the Church income for the year has increased by 24%.
The Foodbank rhe foodbank together with the Coniston Clothes outlet and the Community
Fridge, all based at Coniston Hall , a lormer community Hall in the heart Of our community, all
continuo to bo very acbve. We have a greai team of volunteers who enable Us to keep th15 work
open every weekday. Each month in addition to the loodbank we aro able lo redistribute fresh food
and offer good quality clothing to the IOOS ol people who pass through every month. The financial
offering5 to the loodbank have fallen over ihe year by a m3ssive 42%. This fall in giving is due in part
becauso many ol iho donors are themselves vrbder h"nancial 5lres5. We are currontly workin8 with
Trussell to address the h"nancial problems and are both conh'd¢nT and determined that the work at
Coniston Hall and the loodbai)k will continue lo thrive and increase. Some ol the Churclies who
have previously supported the foodbank are experiencing their own problems. Iwo of the church
ba5od distriburon centres have closed. but l am pleased to be able to say that two new centres are
opening up under new and enthusi3s1ic leadership.
Supportive Housing With some difficulty. we have been able to continue with supportive
housing for up to 7 formally homeless people. The income for this work has also fallen by 36% which
has bepn caused parlly by problem5 Wlth the local housing beneli15 department reorgaiiising and
problems with home working. Our plans ove¥ the next three to live years for establishing
sub5tintial Compa55ion Centre togelher with single person and supported housinbTr units, Iraining
workshops and hopefully with an associated medical centrè, plus training workshops ale continuinE
but at a slower pace than would be desi￿d.
Cap Money The Cap Money advice service was set up bui unforiunately due to ill health of the key
worker li has had to be suspended and is currently on hold pendinB searches for an alternative lead
person.
Overall. a very difficult year with mèny challenges but the essential work of the Charity with the
Church, the foodbank and reachinE Out to the homeles5 has continued and proving to be effechvo
and much appreciated by many pcople. We have a small bltrt great team of dedicated workers and
our current main focus is to increase and enable this team to expand and break new ground.
