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 managed to have more food redistribution from a wholesaler of Halal food products which has enabled us to service our wider diverse community members as they offer us periodic suppliers of Halal products.
