ANNUAL REPORT 2025

ONLY ONE THING

I NTRODUCTION :

When we asked people, including our service users, to tell us ONLY ONE THING ABOUT THIS ORGANISATION , what they came up with is the theme and context of the 2025 Annual Report.

The totality of what they said or wrote illustrates our uniqueness. Although the survey was anonymous, some identified themselves. If our service users suggest something for the group activities, if it is affordable, we often provide them. That is part of what some people consider to be ‘the one thing’.

Many appreciated our staff (paid and volunteers) and said they were friendly, accommodating, and nice. As a specialist food bank, some people praised the charity for its food bank provision which does not offer pre-packed food but allow service users to choose from what is stored.

When people came up with long stories, we asked them to choose the ONLY ONE thing they prioritised. This is to redirect them to the theme of the report.

The following are extracted from a long list of comments from elders, children and young people:

‘I enjoyed today’s session and the drinks. I like the fact that we get along with one another in the group. It was good socializing’. The sit-down exercise was good. I have been using it at home everyday.

‘I enjoyed the exercises. I like the group and the people. I enjoyed the activities. I like playing bingo. Because we meet as a group and we feel relaxed’.
‘I really enjoyed today. It is lots of fun. Today is my first time. I will come again.’
‘The group is lovely as the staff make you feel at home.’
‘Very happy to come. I find peace and the staff are nice and kind when I come while stressed, I get relieved by the time the group meeting finished’.
Group exercises help me with my pains in the body and help to relieve my stress. I come and enjoy meeting other people from different cultural and religious backgrounds. I enjoyed receiving good healthy-life style tips.
The group is good. I feel like I am at home. The environment feels safe, and the staff are very polite and helpful. ‘To me, this is laudable.’
This is a friendly organisation. I like coming here to learn about new things, including how to stay healthy. The staff allow others to lead a group activity or make suggestions. ‘To me, that is commendable.’
The organisation provides good service, and everyone is treated equally according to their needs. That is ‘the one thing I couldn’t forget.’

10.I come and socialise and meet with friends, sharing and learning new

things. ‘I go back home stress-free’.

11.The group is helpful in every way, and they talk and promote healthy lifestyle. They do not welcome ‘religious discussions, though they appreciate other people’s

beliefs.’

12.We suggested the BINGO game and the charity has provided it. We have started to enjoy playing bingo. ‘Bingo games make people happy, as they encourage participation and involvement.’
13.Another person wrote: ‘I really enjoyed the game today. The Bingo was cool, and we would like to play it next time we meet.’
14.Out of 35 older people who attended the meeting on 14/10/2025, 30 commented that they liked and enjoyed playing Bingo game.
15.Today I loved the game of bingo because I won and we did some exercises and chatted, too.
16.‘I can say confidently that the charity is very friendly with kind staff. I love meeting nice people and a friendly group.’ They are welcoming. They treat one another as a family. ‘I can say that the entire Bradford is represented here in our SENIOR ACHOR PROJECT’. We have Black African, Black Caribbean, Asian, European, White British and others I don’t know how to describe. People speak different languages and there are always provisions for interpreters, including, Swahili, Arabic

and French.’ ‘The staff encourage us to speak English always in the group and with people when they get home. That is my one thing.’

The charity’s Food Bank is so special that they provide culturally sensitive food stuff. We are often provided with dates during Ramadan festival. ‘That is one thing I cannot forget.’
The organisation gives us only the food items we want or need, not forcing any items on us. They do not give prepacked [food parcels] like we see some other food banks. No out-of-date food. They also include fruit vegs in our packs. I praise the charity for this.’
We come here to have fun. No discrimination. I really enjoy coming here. They make healthy life a priority in all our holiday activities. The organisation takes us to decent sport centres, far away from the office and pay for our transport and food. This is not common in some other organisations. That is one of the things I like about this charity. Mine is more than just one thing.’
The organisation gives us the opportunity to meet and mix with children

from other cultural and religious backgrounds.
