Prior to the COVID-| |activities||19pandemic,
in 2019we reported
62 volunteers

and associated restrictions
meant|| |achievements|ofthe charity|||that our usual drop-in sessions remained
suspended|| |during the year||||throughout
2020/21.
During this difficult period, we|| |||||focused on meeting the immediate
needs ofthose in our|| |||||community
who needed
help, especially those who were|| |||||homeless or in unsuitable
accommodation
and/or
in need|of| |||||clothing and food, often working
with other organisations|to| |||||find support. We provided
emergency
telephone
contact|| |||||details and continued to offer help, support
and friendship|| |||||through
regular phone and online contact.|| |||||Our Hel
gt Information
service continued
throughout
the|| |||||year, through
phone contact and face-to-face contact when|| |||||needed.
Our experienced
volunteers
have provided
help|| |||||with a range of issues and challenges
such as: issues of|| |||||homelessness
or poor accommodation;
understanding|| |||||solicitors' letters and official correspondence
to do with the|| |||||asylum
process; help accessing healthcare
and|| |||||understanding
related correspondence;
referrals for food|| |||||and clothing support
from Space4U; help with one-off|| |||||essential
living costs when no other funds were available;|| |||||and help with managing
stress, anxiety and isolation.|| |||||Our team of Food Store volunteers
have established|| |||||relationships
with many local organisations,
foodbanks
and|| |||||individuals
who have provided
generous
donations offood|| |||||and household
supplies.
Our volunteers
received and|| |||||sorted these donations
and organised
deliveries offood and|| |||||essential
items to those with little or no other means of|| |||||support.
Through
managing
referrals and regular contact,|| |||||our food store volunteers
have often provided
wider|| |||||support to those in need, reducing
isolation and signposting|| |||||towards sources of help.|| |||||Our ~Clothin
volunteers
received and sorted a large volume|| |||||ofclothing,
baby equipment
and household
items|| |||||generously
donated
