Use of volunteers All our volunteers have given thelr free time to help to support the group activities and support the food clubslbank in Biddulph and Congleton. Summary of the main achievements during the year The Biddulph Food ClublBank is well established in Biddulph and used very well by the community. The Congleton Food ClublBank is well now established within the community after having a full year within its own premises in Congleton. In November 2023 we gained a Free renvlease of a premises in Biddulph given by Sainsburys supermarket. This has allowed us to move our storage warehouse unit into this premises rent free and has allowed us to start saving the rent cost of the warehouse. We moved out of our rented warehouse in June 2024. The time frame allowed us to move and set up the new unit. As the new unit was massive, we have been able to open a charity shop in the front section of the unit which will help us to sustain a bit more due to funding becoming more difficult and available due to the climate crisis. We called this charity shop section the Green Tre8 House Emporium. The support group activikn.es and outings have gained more attendees. i.e. craft club, wann places project (in conjunction with Biddulph Town Council). These support activities have been a massive lifesaver for the vulnerable persons of the community.
