We have also SUPled fumiture and household items to indtviduals who have moved irrto accommodation from homelessness. Summary ofthe main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefrt) Families and School Su We are continuing to provide food parcels all year round to households referred to us by schools. heafth care or social workers. At Christmas and Easter, additional hampers have been given to families in need. We also provide to them clothing, small household items, together with fumiiure and household appliances (when V can). By the end of 2020, we were distributing over 450 parcels per month.

TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance Summary ofthe main achievements of the chaiity during the year This year has LEen esFeoally Challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic and one of the main achievements has been the way the chartty and its volunteers have adapted to the new realty. This has meant identifying and mittgating against the increased risk from COVII Ig at our communty meals. when in direct contact with families {and schools) and also operating within our warehouses. Foremost was the safety of tth our volunteers and clients (though the provision of PPE equipment, social distancing, hygiene, etc). We have also coordinated our efforts with other local charities and organisations more than ever before, one example being during the govemments "Everyone In. inttiative. Whilst V temporarily suspended our communty meals, we were still able to provide packed lunches and other items to those in acGommodation wtthout food provision. One of the misconceptions that we now face is that the °homeless issue. was somehow xed. during the 1st COVlD-19 lockdown, with all the homeless now fully housed. Unfortunately, this is far from realsty, with many homeless only placed into temporary accommodation of varying quality. induding the use of hotels and B&Bs. This means that many still do not have access to food andlor cookn'ng facilrties and have basically just tEen given a ted for the night. In coordination with other locally operatiry homeless charities, we restarted our communty meals in September 2020 lo fill these gaps. We have reduced the number our community meals from five {pr&pandemic) to two. as the demand is thankfully lower than before. However. the coordination with other charities still means that ltheen us all, V still cover every day ofthe week. Whilst the demands Pla on chartty from helping the homeless has redurEd, the oppostte is true of helping families in need. The amount of help we provide. mainly through the provision of weekly food parcels, has almost doubled during 2020. This increased support to families led to too mh pressure on our existing warehouse units, so at the end of 2020 we decided to look for a much larger, single warehouse. which Gould LE coordinated with the leases on our two eStIng smaller warehouses finishing in 2021. Not only would this give us twi the space as before, but also a reduction in management and overtd$ by replacing two units Yth one. IhThilst waiti'ng to move into the new warehouse, we continued to open up the existing units 3 mornings a week and have donation bins available for all other times. The units are manned by our volunteers, where they apt, sort and pack all tlems ready for redistribution, either for collection from the untis. or we deliver to schools or the clierrt's home rf required. Our collections van is regulady used to collect and deliver donations. All these oper*ons are undertaken with complete regard to the safety of all concemed through the use of PPE, social distancing. etc. In addition to regular food hamFers. we have continued to provide Christmas and Easter hampers. Christmas 2020 saw us provide over 700 to local schools for families in need. TAR qarch 2012
Section E Financial review Please also read the Resetves Note in Section F. The ¢hanty has total reserves available of £196,973 (as at 311112021), of bvhich £26,600 is already designated with a further £120.000 in reserve for specifi contingencies. The unallocated reserves of £50.373 will be partly used to increase our monthly support to families in need, as we expect this demand to continue to rise during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Detalls of any funds materlally in deficit None Furthor financlal rnview detalls (Optional Infomiatlon) Our prinCie source of funding is through extremely kind donations from the general public, tt>3ether with the generosity of many local companies, with oc¢asional small grants from national companies. You may choose to include additional infomiation, where relevant about: the Gharity's principal sources of funds (including any fundraising). how expenditure has supported the key objective8 of the charity., investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. We are also very grateful for the equally important donations of non- monetary Items. such as food and clothing. VVherea$ last year we thought it wudent to budget for an anticipated downtum in donations {as the pandemic took hold). the generosity of the public has once again astonished us and donations actually increased by approximately £25k during 2020r21. This has left us with more reserves than expected. which means that we a even more confident that v can keep pace wilh the increased demands from families and schools. Section F Other optional information R888rve8 Notes (See Seciion E) cont 1. The charty has designated funds from resep4es of a) £5,000 for dilapidation costs (for the expiry of two leases in 2021122), b) £15,000 for frtting Out a new warehouse and c) £6,600 for net adjustrnents for the warehouse deposits (a totsl of £26,600). 2. Imth the new warehouse, the chanty will be taking on a muth larger commitment (albeit a very ne¢e¥sary one) for the next five years. One of our main financial obj'ectives it to never get into a Position where we are forced to withdraw key services due to unexpected financial constraints. Wrth this in mind. we intend to hold in reserve the whole of the lease costs of ts new warehouse, thereby guaranteeing the continued operation of ts charrty for the nexl five years (a total of £100,000), 3. The charity believes it sensible to hold three months running costs (a total of £15,000) in reserve. 4. Sadl , the chant also believes it sensible to hold £5.0 in reserve for homeless funeral ex enses. Section G Declaration The trustees declare that they have approveql the tru$tees' report above.
