In 2022 the Charity continued to keep its subsidised cafe and two community charity shops open. We received a final Covid grant from the Government of £8,007, which allowed us to cover the shortfall in revenue whilst we fully returned to standard operations after the end of the Lockdown period. The Charity added a third member of part-time staff in its Community Cafe to add to the two other part-time staff who were employed previously. This enables us to cope better with increased demand in the cafe. The Charity arranged two coach trips for families, pensioners and other residents. It has also provided free lunches for children during the school holidays, to assist struggling families. The Charity took on a new accountant to audit its accounts, and also had various changes to its Trustees over the year. The Charity's former Treasurer is no longer an Authorised Person for the Charity.
