Amazing Graze has been supporting Blackpool as a whole and continued to support the homeless community including the vulnerable, elderly and families in poverty.

During the Covid pandemic, we have been supporting more people in distressing situations and increasing our services through the week to enable to serve food and resources on other evenings via pizza grazie. Pizza Grazie supports our homeless community with hot food and food supplies if available Thursday – Sunday outside the normal opening hours of our soup kitchen.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Amazing Graze has excelled and picked up the pace of service and supported our community proudly.

We have gained acknowledgments from our local regional newspapers by winning an award as part of the best of Lancashire for community champion. This was awarded due the continued commitment and support we offered our community during the covid pandemic.

Pizza Grazie continues to feed the homeless four nights per week. All proceeds go into the charity and cover running costs, reducing the need to ask for funding and letting us focus on what we do best. As we are all about food poverty we have proven a pizza shop within our building would benefit our community better than having a second hand shop to enable the charity to financially benefit for general ongoing bills.

New links and contacts continue to be made to move forward with supported housing being available and a positive increase of support for our homeless community.

The big red emergency night bus has gained great support from a local housing developer, Rowland homes, supporting us financially and match funding any donations in order to convert the bus to 10 sleeping pods for emergency accommodation. Due to increases in material costs and further funding required we have planned the launch for approx.. September 2022

Rowland Homes is a very generous property developer in our area and without them we would not be able to continue with the big red emergency night bus.
