## **Aims and Objectives**
Dom’s Food Mission objective is to prevent surplus in date food from ending up in landfill by redirecting collected surplus foods to people and families who find themselves struggling with food insecurity which results in a positive impact on both community and environment.
## **Governance, Structure and Management**
Dom’s Food Mission operates under rules of its constitution adopted in April 2016. Dom’s Food Mission is a Charitable Incorporated Association first registered with the Charity Commission in May 2016. The charities principal aim is to actively collect and distribute surplus in date food throughout Hastings and the surrounding areas.
Trustees are elected to the board of Dom’s Food Mission at the Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) in accordance and requirements of the Constitution. Trustees are elected for a period of three years, with retirements required on a rolling basis. Retiring trustees are eligible for re- election. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration are paid during the term for the role of trustee. Trustees are for guidance with the day to day operations executed by the Chief Executive Officer.
Daily management is under the jurisdiction of Dom Warren (Chief Executive Officer) with tasks and duties carried out by a team of volunteers.
## **Brief History of Dom’s food Mission**
Dom’s Food Mission was born out of Dom Warren and Alex Warren’s concerns at seeing an ever increase problem of food insecurity with their home town of Hastings.
So, in May 2015 Alex and Dom began their mission to tackle the issue of food poverty, soon realising that vast amount of surplus in date food was regularly going to landfill which could be going to people in need, Dom’s Food Mission was born.
The ideology formed by Alex and Dom upon creating Dom’s Food Mission was that regardless of age, status, creed or colour all where welcome. Their first step was to set up a Facebook page explaining who they were, what the aim of Dom’s Food mission was and would anyone like to donate food. The response was overwhelming with over 50 people responding to the first call with food donations that enabling DFM to supply food to over 100 local people.
�3
Dom’s Food Mission continued to grow through their volunteer program which allowed for regular bin drops pick ups from supermarkets and distribution of food to the local community. A big milestone was Dom’s first partnership deal with local Marks and Spencer. Today, Dom’s Food Mission has a fleet of vans and a team of over 20 volunteers that pick up surplus food seven days a week 52 weeks a year, saving over 100 metric tons of surplus in date foods from landfill and giving out thousands of food donations every week.
## **Review of the Activities and Achievements for the Year**
At the start of the Covid pandemic which resulted in a national lockdown in March 2020 Hastings like many other communities throughout the uk was severely impacted by the resulting restrictions which lead many families succumbing to food insecurity. Dom’s Food Mission (Now to be known as DFM) experienced unprecedented demand for food donations becoming a community lifeline within Hastings, St Leonards on Sea and surrounding areas.
Our regular food partnerships kindly continued to supply DFM with surplus food as per norm but demand was soon outstripping supply. As localised businesses finding themselves having to close their doors now with surplus food in stock which would ultimately be sent to landfill, answered DFM’s call for food donations. DFM was then able to distribute over two and a half metric tons of food per week to the community at large.
Shortly after the start of the Covid Lockdown, DFM realised that getting food to the people in need was a logistical problem that needed solving quickly, even if on a temporary basis. so an Emergency Food Hub within Broomgrove community centre was set up to provide a distribution point for food donation collection.
Broomgrove Food Hub proved to be successful in answering the question of localised distribution. With this food hub template in place, DFM organised a further four food hubs located in Ore, Hollington, Four Courts and Downs Farm. This allowed for food to be distributed throughout the week.
Dom’s Food Mission initially expected the setting up of the five Food Hubs to be temporary, Yet the idea of direct food distribution points in areas most in need allowed DFM to expand its operations and reach further into the community. DFM submitted a successful application to the National Lottery which enabled DFM to employ a full- time hub co-ordinator to manage all existing hubs and to future plan the development of new food hubs.
