crisis. We provide a safe, welcoming environment where those who are struggling can
access practical help. emotional support, opportunities to connect and rebuild confidence,
and routes into training. employment. and improved wellbeing.
We support a wide range of vulnerable groups including older people. families on low
income, individuals facing mental or physical health challenges. victims/survivors of
domestic abuse or violence. and those experiencing economic hardship or social isolation.
3. Core Services Provided (Ongoing Year-Round Support)
Alongside our funded projects, these core services form the backbone of our community
impact:
Cornrnunity Foodbank & Emergency Crisis Support
Providing emergency food parcels. basic essentials, and urgent household support to
individuals and families in emergency need. Demand has risen sharply over the last year due
to cost-of-living pressures and increasing local poverty.
• Welfare. Benef its & Financial Support
Guiding people through benefit applications. appeals, debt concerns, housing challenges
and hardship support. This has prevented crisis escalation for many households and
improved financial capacity for those who had nowhere else to turn.
Mental Health & Peer-support Groups
Safe space support groups help reduce isolation. anxiety and loneliness while building
confidence, connection. and emotional resilience.
Dlgltal Incluslon & Practical Help
Support with online access, application completion, job search, universal credit/benefit
systems and general welfare support. vital for those who struggle digitally or lack computer

A welcoming warm space offering hot drinks and warm snacks. conversation, belonging and
community connection - Particularly for isolated older adults, those most vulnerable and

individuals unable to afford even the basics, let alone anything extra for Christmas. Without
help. children may wake up with no presents and families may go without a proper meal,
deepening feelings of hardship and exclusion during what should be a joyful time. Providing
food hampers and toys ensures that vulnerable people are not left behind, offering relief,
di8nity• and a sense of normality, while showing care leavers and those without support
networks that they are valued and not alone.

our people. strengthening our communities and bringing about long-term positive growth.
4. Funded Projects Delivered This Period
Supporting Our Pensloners Project
A vital programme protecting older residents facing loneliness, food insecurity and financial
worry. Through group sessions, befriending, support access and emergency help, we
improved wellbeing, reduced isolation. and ensured older people felt valued, connected,
and supported.
Supporting Our Pensioners, a new 14-month project, created to SUPPOrt older residents
across Bury who are struggling with rising living costs, isolation, and access to welfare
entitlements. The project runs weekly face-to-face drop-in sessions providing a warm,
welcoming environment with refreshments. social connection, and direct welfare support.
Specialist support staff offer pension credit checks. benefit application support (including
Attendance Allowance). and wrap-around advice for individuals at risk of financial hardship.
The service aims to maximise income for older people, improve wellbeing, reduce
loneliness, and prevent crisis escalation during a period of increased pressure caused by the
removal of Winter Fuel Payments and high household costs.

osect
Through regular attendance monitorin& entitlement outcomes and client feedback, we
have dealt with more than 150 clients since the project Started and maximised income in
the region of £425,000. The client feedback has been incredible, with people feeling much
more equipped to cope, significant reductions in worry and stress and most importantly,
people do not know how they would have survived these desperate times without the
valuable help, sUPPOrt, and compassion of the Attic Project.
