Summary main		ofthe				During the year the Community Help Hub was open every weekday managed on a day to day basis by our Centre Coordinator.
achievements of the charity during the year						The food bank and Food Cupboard have operated throughout the year and have supplied around 8to 10people every week, each supporting around 4 people. Sowe estimate we have helped to feed around 1,600 people during the year. Our
						experience is that people often need to use the food bank for several weeks but then
						either drop out or move on to the Food Cupboard. We do not know the exact number
						ofseparate individuals helped but estimate it to be around 400.
						Queens' Award for Voluntary Service:
						In June 2020 we were delighted to be chosen as the recipients of the Queens Award
						for Voluntary Service, equivalent to an MBE for voluntary organisations, the highest
						award a voluntary organisation can achieve. The formal presentation ofthe award	by
						the Lord Lieutenant ofWest Glamorgan, Mrs Louise Fleet, had to be postponed until
						the summer of2021.
Brief statement					of	The Trustees have determined that it would be prudent to keep 3 months running
the charity's						costs as reserves —in 2020-21 this was f11,760which the Trustees carried over at
policy	on	reserves				the end ofthe financial year. The Trustees have also set aside a capital fund for future
						improvements to the building and at the end ofthe year this held f23,500.
Further financial					review details
						We had two main sources of income during the 2020-21 —several of our existing
						funders allowed us to use their funds for the new purpose of running our emergency
						Community Help Hub: the People's Health Trust (65k), Comic Relief (f.10k), and the
						Garfield Weston Foundation (810k), and the Llynfi Afan Renewable Energy Park
						Community Fund (f5k). In addition, several funders supported us specifically to
						provide emergency support to our community: Pen y Cymoedd Wind Farm
						Community Fund (f13,176),Welsh Government (through the local authority) 210k,	the
						Moondance Foundation (84k) and the Community Foundation (E5,922).There was
						also a significant response from the local community with donations to support the
						food bank. The Trustees also waived the annual membership fee as it was regarded
						as too dangerous to collect small amounts ofcash when people were (initially)
						confined to their homes. Towards the end ofthe financial year the Moondance
						Foundation awarded us a further f.12,288to enable us to keep providing our
						emergency service into 2021-22.
