Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We have returned to normal activities following the pandemic; however we sadly lost over 55 users due to lack of mobility, depression & illness. We have made efforts to increase numbers by going out & talking to our community. We are pleased to say that numbers are now increasing weekly. We also conducted a user survey & have a plan in place to further strengthen contacts in the area & increase number. The Contingency plan that was put in place at the start of the first lockdown has proved a valuable & important part of our future. The community was reassured that moorland Star provided & continues to provide a vital provision in the area. We were able to secure funding from various agencies, that have continued to support us. The introduction of longer opening times has proved immensely popular as the rising cost of living hits our community. The ‘free coffee & chat’ provision allows our users to keep warm, save fuel use in their homes & socialise with their friends. We have seized opportunities of picking up surplus & waste food via the ‘neighbourly scheme’, to pass on to our users thus helping with their food bills. We are proud that we were able to continue to maintain our core aims & objectives through continuing difficult times. |
