Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The CEF goal is to alleviate hunger in Oxford City by seeking and collecting food which is then distributed from St Francis Church, Hollow Way, Littlemore Baptist Church, Church Lane and Barton Community Church, Barton Neighbourhood Centre.

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. Despite our Welfare System in this country, many thousands of people

still go hungry through debt, sickness, sudden job loss, addiction, marriage breakdown or simply delays in benefit. We serve those referred to us by GPs, Health Visitors, the CAB, Clergy, Community workers and Police etc. – any professionals who are likely to come into contact with people in real need. On 1[st] April 2020 we had to change our food collection service as it was no longer safe due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We closed our CEF cafés and provided a delivery service to all those who had been electronically referred to us by the various referral agencies in the city. This was provided by volunteers, working in pairs to deliver food parcels door to door. This service continued until 1[st] August 2021 when we returned to our CEF café service at St Francis Church, Barton Community Church and Littlemore Baptist Church. We have continued to use our electronic referral link. .
What do we want to achieve?
To provide three days nutritionally balanced emergency food-aid for people in crisis, identified and referred by frontline statutory and nonstatutory service providers e.g. GPs,Health Visitors, Social Workers, Probation Officers, Advice Centres, Clergy, Community Workers etc. – any professionals who are likely to come into contact with people in real Summary of the main need.
