Section D Achievements and performance
The charity acts as a franchise of a larger charity (Christians Against Summary of the main Poverty). The charity’s funds pay a subscription to its head office for the achievements of the charity training and equipping of two front line workers and debt counselling during the year services to give debt coaching to over 40 new families and manage a workload of over 36 ongoing clients to assist with managing budgets and provide support to enable them to be released from the burden of unmanageable debt. The last 12 months has been a very different year due to the pandemic. We saw a drop in clients booking in for help. This has been due to the pandemic and clients being able to access extra government help. However during this year, we have seen approx. 20 families going debt free through this period. We are normally a face-to-face service with a very holistic approach to provide families with full support by visiting them in their homes. We work with Christians Against Poverty nationally by helping clients to get their paperwork in order that a good budget can be created and take over negotiations with their creditors on their behalf so that clients are released from that pressure. This year we have had to adapt our way of working due to the pandemic to be able to deliver our service over the phone or via video call. We have been unable to do our usual events this year but have instead provided gifts and food hampers at special times of the year to help families to get through the pandemic. We delivered 23 Christmas Hampers this year with vouchers included for fresh meat and veg from local supplier. We also had a partnership with another local charity to deliver fresh fruit and veg to our clients during the pandemic. We have a fund for client emergency aid food shops and essential items that we give to clients on a case for case basis. We provide a drop-in service once a week to enable new clients to come and enquire about our service provided and book an appointment. The drop in also acts as a hub with other referral agencies present, so ongoing clients to come in and discuss their case or be referred on to other appropriate help (with permission). We have obtained some funding towards a new paid debt coach place and a community links officer this year to replace volunteer roles to enable us to be future proofed and ready for what we anticipate will be a very busy year ahead once restrictions lift, when the universal credit uplift is taken away plus the many job losses people have suffered over this last year.
