| 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 | The COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing throughout the whole of this financial period and has impacted the way Myriad Foundation provided support to the community. Particularly, due to Government restrictions a number of our services were unable to operate and as such, projects including “My Social Buddy” where volunteers attend care homes and hospices were placed on hold until it was appropriate to restart in line with health and Government guidelines. Despite Government restrictions across a number of projects, Myriad Foundation adapted to the changing needs of society by launching new services and adapting the delivery of existing services. Notably, Myriad Foundation was one of the first organisations in Manchester to launch a self-isolation support project whereby our volunteers delivered care packages to vulnerable people self-isolating as result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our volunteers utilised existing resources and processes to deliver food and essential supplies to those unable to leave their homes. During the year Myriad Foundation continued its food bank operation, “Feed a Friend”, however operating similarly to the self-isolation project by delivering food parcels directly to those in need. Throughout the course of the year the food bank distributed nearly 5 tonnes of food and relied on over 500 hours of volunteer time to help the community. Myriad Foundation has continued to operate and run a soup kitchen, “Soup N Smiles”, in Manchester City Centre continuously throughout the year on a bi-weekly basis. The soup kitchen is the Myriad Foundations biggest project, in terms of volunteer numbers, relying on the vital contribution of over 30 volunteers. Over, 4000 vital meals were provided to vulnerable people in Manchester including not only, soup, beverages and hot meals but also clothing and accessories. Volunteers spend time building relationships with the guests in order to provide relief from social isolation particularly in what was a significantly challenging year for vulnerable communities. During the year Myriad Foundation agreed the terms of a community asset transfer with Manchester City Council to acquire a community building in Longsight from which to deliver a vast array of new projects and expand additional services that are currently being provided. The community centre requires significant redevelopment work to bring the building back into use within the community and will be a key focus for the organisation for the next financial year. |
