|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing throughout the whole of<br>this financial period and has impacted the way Myriad<br>Foundation provided support to the community.<br>Particularly, due to Government restrictions a number of our<br>services were unable to operate and as such, projects<br>including “My Social Buddy” where volunteers attend care<br>homes and hospices were placed on hold until it was<br>appropriate to restart in line with health and Government<br>guidelines.<br>Despite Government restrictions across a number of projects,<br>Myriad Foundation adapted to the changing needs of society<br>by launching new services and adapting the delivery of existing<br>services.<br>Notably, Myriad Foundation was one of the first organisations<br>in Manchester to launch a self-isolation support project<br>whereby our volunteers delivered care packages to vulnerable<br>people self-isolating as result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our<br>volunteers utilised existing resources and processes to deliver<br>food and essential supplies to those unable to leave their<br>homes.  During the year Myriad Foundation continued its food<br>bank operation, “Feed a Friend”, however operating similarly to<br>the self-isolation project by delivering food parcels directly to<br>those in need. Throughout the course of the year the food bank<br>distributed nearly 5 tonnes of food and relied on over 500<br>hours of volunteer time to help the community.<br>Myriad Foundation has continued to operate and run a soup<br>kitchen, “Soup N Smiles”, in Manchester City Centre<br>continuously throughout the year on a bi-weekly basis. The<br>soup kitchen is the Myriad Foundations biggest project, in<br>terms of volunteer numbers, relying on the vital contribution of<br>over 30 volunteers. Over, 4000 vital meals were provided to<br>vulnerable people in Manchester including not only, soup,<br>beverages and hot meals but also clothing and accessories.<br>Volunteers spend time building relationships with the guests in<br>order to provide relief from social isolation particularly in what<br>was a significantly challenging year for vulnerable<br>communities.<br>During the year Myriad Foundation agreed the terms of a<br>community asset transfer with Manchester City Council to<br>acquire a community building in Longsight from which to<br>deliver a vast array of new projects and expand additional<br>services that are currently being provided. The community<br>centre requires significant redevelopment work to bring the<br>building back into use within the community and will be a key<br>focus for the organisation for the next financial year.|
