## Introduction 

I am delighted to be able to write the preface for our annual report at the end of the old year and the start of the new year. 

I firstly want to say a huge thank you to one of our founding members the Rev Angie Stanton, who has retired as parish priest at St Elisabeth’s Reddish and has now moved out of Reddish and away from her work with Re:dish. Without the sheer drive and energy that Angie put into this charity we certainly wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are today, and we all here at Re:dish wish Angie a happy and long contented retirement. 

We have emerged slowly from the effects brought on us by the pandemic and I want to say a huge thank you to our volunteers who maintained our twice weekly food bank sessions right throughout the whole of the pandemic - your work is really very much appreciated. 

I welcome our new shop manager, Yazz, who has transformed the shop operation with her lovely enthusiasm and energy. The shop continues to be our main source of income for our charity and  Yazz’s contribution is vitally important. I also welcome our new kickstarter apprentice, Callum, we hope working with us you gain experience and confidence that will benefit you in your future life. 

We have developed the upstairs above our shop this is the ‘hub’ of our operation and we have made space for our community. Both the Peacock and Stanton suites are now in operation and we have some groups already using this facility. Over the next few months we intend to develop further our ‘Hub’ activities. 

As a charity we want to reach out to other community groups and organisations, and we have created excellent  new relationships with Men in Sheds and Broadstones School. 

We are honoured to have been selected as Charity of the Year by Heatons Mess WI and Houldsworth Park Bowling club both of whom have generously donated to us. 

We are an organisation of volunteers: men, women,young and old, able bodied and living with disabilities who run all the various operations you will read about in the pages of this report.  Their tireless support make the work we do happen. Without our volunteers there would be nothing so to our wonderful volunteers and all our supporters thank you for all that you do. 

Andy Verdeille, Chair of trustees

## Our 2021 -22 Goals 

During the pandemic we worked with Pilotlight. They are a charitable organisation that provides charities with access to business professionals to anable them to achieve their ambitions. They helped us re-focus our strategy and goals and develop our business plan 

**1** 

Develop the shop and hub to become a focal point for the community in accordance with need 

Complete the development of the Peacock room Undertake a community consultaion to establish key needs  for the community hub Host trial events in the space 

**2** 

**3** 

Support and promote existing :Re:dish projects 

Following the Covid lockdowns and ending of restrictions support our existing projects to resume and strengthen 

Identify and work with partners that can compliment existing Re:dish projects 

Working with others is an efficient way of responding to the needs of our community. The focus of new projects or services is on projects that tackle poverty and social isolation. 




## Food Action 

## Foodbank 

- During 2021-22 our foodbank supported 3871 clients - over 400 more than in previous years 

102 

sessions 

- The holiday hunger scheme and introduction of referrals from schools saw an increase in the number of families accessing the foodbank many for the first time (292 more children were supported this year) 

- As well as food we also operated uniform and winter clothing voucher schemes. At Christmas we gave out toys 

- Our foodbank continued to operate under Covid restrictions with increased hygiene and social distrancing during 2021-22 

- We received a very generous donation from Morrisons customers - £2000 of vouchers via their 2021 Christmas giving tree as well as 4700kg of food donations.  We have continued to receive support from our community throughout the year with large harvest and Christmas donations. 

30 volunteers 3871 clients 

## Future Developments 

- Stockport Foodbank are looking at bringing in specialist advisors to provide clients with support to help them out of their crisis situation 

- Re:dish  continue to explore opportunities for opening a social supermarket providing low cost food for our community. We are researching the models available and we are looking for premises that may be suitable  for this. 




## Common Ground 

## Common Ground 

151 visits 

Our Common Ground project offers friendship and support to the most isolated in our community. It is predominantly an in-home visiting scheme that helps to tackle loneliness as well as helping people to connect with wider networks of support. 

We were able to return to face to face visits to clients in July 2021 although obviously we did this cautiously respecting the government guidance at to ensure the safety of volunteers and clients. 

This service is now complimented by the Banter & Brews group supporting men who may be suffering isolation. This is a weekly group that takes place at the hub. 

5 volunteers 7 clients 

## Future Developments 

We will continue to expand the referral network and look at opportunties to work closely with similar services provided by Age UK and Saint Vincent de Paul at St Josephs church. 

We will look at introducing other groups at the hub such as a women's group that compliment this service 




## Wellbeing 

## Dementia Friendly Cafe 

Our Dementia Friendly Cafe welcomes those living with dementia and their carers. We offer a delicious 2 course lunch and a fun activity that is suitable for everyone. 

22 sessions 

We were able to restart the cafe in Spring 2021 and ran 11 sessions with a short break over the summer and Christmas period. 


11 volunteers 20 clients 

Future Developments 

We will continue to promote the DFC within Reddish and throughout our Stockport networks so that we can support more clients. 

We will take advantage of the new community garden and garden furniture at St Agnes Church when the weather allows. 

We will continue to explore the possibility of second DFC in South Reddish 




## Wellbeing 

## Banter & Brews 

In March 2022 we set up a men's self-support group to make a difference to men’s lives particularly those who are depressed, anxious, lonely, isolated or bored. We do this through engaging in conversation (Banter) and group activities such as pool/snooker, darts, board games. We provide refreshments and a warm, safe place to meet up each week. 

4 sessions 

## 1 volunteer 

The group has been well received - attendance has already built up in the first few weeks. There have also been a number of very generous donations from businesses and individuals 


24 clients 

## Future Developments 

The group plans to invite outside agencies and other groups of interest to come and give presentations and talks about their activities. 

The group also plans (subject to funding) enhancement trips to museums and attractions (St Annes, Avro air museum) as well as introductions to other social activities 

Banter & Brews are also exploring the possibility of running a second (evening) group and will be recruiting more volunteers to ensure the group continues to grow 




## Goodshare 

## Re:dish Shop 

In n May 2021 our new shop manager, Yazz, joined us bringing with her many years of retail experience and a lot of energy! The shop is  open 10 -4pm Tues to Friday and 10-3pm on Saturdays and is an integral part of our community. 

**£** 48,148 income 

We are known for our brilliant and constantly changing window displays and we are now starting to hold 'sales' events. We held: 

- a Big Bike sale working in partnership with Men in Sheds. As a result of this we now sell their reconditioned bikes in the shop for a commission generating us additional weekly income 

- the return of Window Santa - a free opportunity for local children to meet and have a photo with Father Christmas 

In February we started to PAT test small electrical items ourselves which means we can get stock out more quickly. We have seen sales on these items increase signficantly. 

In addition to supplement our weekly shop income in January 2022 we began to sell specialist items via ebay generating over £400 in sales. 

15 

volunteers 


## Future Developments 

We hold take part and attend in local events (eg Heatons Post trails) 

We will use the Stanton Suite for one off sales events to generate additional income and promote the space eg end of season kilo sales and a Christmas pop up shop 

We will continue to sell specialist items via ebay building more expertise in this area 

We will invest in a new till so that we are able to register and reclaim Gift Aid 




## Hub 

## Re:dish Hub 

This year we completed the refurbishment of the Peacock room and began working with Broadstones school pupils on a bespoke piece of artwork for the room. 

The versatile space with a brand new kitchen is available for community groups  to use as well as being available for rent. 

We started to host events in Autumn 2021. These included: 

digital events as part of GetOnline Week first aid training, 

employment support with ItsHerStory menopause workshops with ItsHerStory. 

In March 2022 our Banter & Brews men's social group was set up and began running weekly from the room 

9 sessions 7 facilitators 22 clients 

## Future Developments 

In response to our consultation we will work with partners to become know as a place to get advice / support> We will do this by participating in events such as GetOnlineWeek and as well as creating our own programme 

We will set up a regular group for women tackling social isolation based around craft and we will trial a low impact exercise group 

We will rent the rooms to community groups, council events and office space 



## Our 2022-23 New Projects 

We have a number of new projects in the pipeline. We are excited to see these come to fruitiion after Covid as they have never been more needed 

**1** 

## Youth Project 


We established a new partnership with Make a Difference and began working with the team centred around North Reddish park. After a short period of outreach work building engagement with young people we will start a free weekly group with fun activities that help young people develop their social skills and build self confidence 


Community Garden 

Broadstones School 


We have completed the first phases of our new community garden at St Agnes church. We are looking forward to the completion of the ground work in late 2022, The garden will open in Spring 2023 providing a brilliant, relaxing space for the local community and church groups to enjoy together 

In March 2022 we were introduced to Broadstones School. We have complimentary skills and shared ambitions. We are looking at working together on a number of one off events and trialling some new projects. We are looking forward to seeing where this new relationship might take us

## Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Re:dish 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Re:dish for the year ended 

31 March 2022. 

## _Responsibilities and basis of report_ 

As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## _Independent examiner’s statement_ 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
