Homeless Su
Up to arKI following the 1st full lod(d¢)wn, we have continued to run
communty meals every week, helping the homeless by serving hot
meals, hot soup, hot and cokl drinks, sandwiches, cakes. pastries,
savouries. fruit. vegetables, bread, etc. In add￿'on, we have also
provided dothing, bedding and toiletries. When requested we have also
handed out equipment suth as tents, sleeping bags, rucksacks, boots
etc. During the fvll lockdown we also pyovhled packed lunches to those in
temForary accommodation wthoui food SUPFrf)rt.
We have also SUP￿led 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.
General
Collection and distribution of surplus food from supermarkets,
vtholesalers. shops & restaurants for the homeless, families in need, local
hostels and women's refuges.
We operate two warehouses and thm vehides in support of the above.
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Chartty
Commission on public benefrt, whilst providing the serVI￿S listed atK)ve.
Additional detalls of objethes and activities (Optional infomiation)
The charity continues to be 100% run by volunteers. Volunteers and
Trustees donate the time they give and no one 18 paid. The contribution
made by our volunteer5 is and always wll te immeasurable.
The Trustees woukj like to thank all our volunteers for their efforts in
supporting what we do in the local community. especially during the
COVID-19 pandemic wtth the associated increased risk.
You may choos8 to indude

Due to the superb efforts of our volunteers, we haven't had to cut back on
any of our Servi￿ (at least not through our own choice) and have
actually managed to increase the help we give to families and th& local
comrnunrty.

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 t￿th 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 m￿h 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 e￿StIng smaller warehouses finishing in 2021. Not only
would this give us twi￿ the space as before, but also a reduction in
management and overt￿d$ by replacing two units Y￿th 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
a￿pt, 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.

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

None
Furthor financlal rnview detalls (Optional Infomiatlon)
Our prinCi￿e 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.
