Para 1.20 | During the year Myriad Foundation continued its food bank operation, “Feed a Friend”,by delivering food parcels directly to those in need. This provides greater dignity and ease to vulnerable service users. 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. 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 trustees worked with external advisers to develop a redevelopment plan and due to the listed status of the building entered into ongoing consultations with Manchester City Council’s planning team to agree a scope of work. The Taste Ramadan project was successfully relaunched following postponement for the COVID pandemic. This national initiative involved mosques around the country breaking fast during Ramadan with the local communities to inform and educate about, Ramadan, fasting and Islam generally. |
