Cirencester Foodbank Report of the Trustees For the 15 Month Perlod Ended 31 March 2025 It has also worked with World Jungle. who co-ordinates the Holiday Artivity and Food Programme IHAFI to ensure the voices of those on low incomes are heard, and food provision in the activities is improved to provide a suitable meal for children attending.

Duringthe report period, a new mental health service was started and new dial-a-ride bus service introduced. There were also significant improvements to the food element of the Holiday Artiwty and Food Programme.

Supported by our Participation and Engagement Lead the Foodbank began developing a strategic framework for future participation, focused on building trusting relation5hip5 and fostering inclusive practices. This marked a significant evolution in our efforts to include the voices and experiences of clients at every level of decision-making and service design. Working in collaboration with the Trussell Trust, the Foodbank delivered a Together, workshop designed to help staff and volunteers better understand the experiences and emotional journeys of those referred to food bank5. particularly the trauma many face. This was followed by a series of "A Mile in My Shoes" workshops, which further explored how we could provide a more dignified and compassionate experience forthose we support. Lived experience volunteers played an important role in co-designing new initiatives, including a simplified nd respectful consent-gathering process for clients who wish to receive further support. Their insights were instrumental In shaping processes that reflert the needs and preferences of people with lived experience of food insecurity. Our participation work also extended into advocacy efforts. Through our involvement in the "Laying It All Out On The Table" campaign, organi5ed by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Trussell Trust, we helped to ensure the voices of residents were heard and included in reports published by other organisations. The fixe&tem participation role ended on 31st March 2025 when funding from Trussell Trust ceased, and in line with our vision for wider integration of participatory approaches. We are deeply grateful to Participation and Engagement Lead for her dedication and insight, which leaves a valuable legacy for the Foodbank to build on as we move towards a more inclusive and user-informed future.
