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

it to be around 400.|| |||||||Queens'

to be chosen as the recipients
of the Queens Award|| |||||||for Voluntary

to an MBE for voluntary

the highest|| |||||||award a voluntary

can achieve. The formal presentation

Mrs Louise Fleet, had to be postponed
until|| |||||||the summer
of2021.|| |Brief statement|||||of|The Trustees have determined

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:

(through

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.|| |e|~|||||~
