Delivering our Aims and objectlves

We review ouraims and objectives each yeartomake sure we are delivering them
as stated. Our review looks atwhatwe have done inthe lastfinancial year and how
farwe succeeded in delivering some of all of ourobjectives. Evidently, we deliver
them on a year to year basis. We follow all Chanty commission guidelines in
ensuring our aims and objectives are delivering a public benefit.
During the year under review, we re￿iVed funding from three sources. The John
Moores Foundation. The National Lottery Communrty Fund and from the Energy
Industrial Voluntary Redress Scheme. Our Sierra Leone operations also
received a grant from the Eleanor Rathbone Charitable Trust
We have already received £33.556.99 as part of a two year fvnded project from
the Energy Industnal Voluntary Redress Scheme that is administered by the
Energy Saving Trust. The project involves advising vulnerable people across
Merseyside on how to reduce their energy use and offering support to those
facing self-disconnection. The support include home visits, telephone advice and
holding or participating in community events
We received £9800 from The National Lottery Communty fvnd for a °Leam to
cook on a Budget Project for young people. We hired chefs who delivered
workshops that reached 70 young people who taught about basic cooking skills,
team working and while they need to cook their own meals to avoKI fast food
and the health complications it usually causes.
We received £2000 from the Eleanor Rathbone Charrtable Trust for a one year
homeless project in Freetown, the caprtal of Sierra Leone.
The John Moores Foundation gave us a £5000 grant for the part time salary of
our Project Manager.
We received small donations totaling £2500.
Who used our SeYvlce8
We have reached 250 people in our energy savings advice sessions dun'ng
communrty which we either organized or attended. We have offered 53 people
face to face energy advice while we visrted 61 people at home to offer free
energy savings advice and tips. 37 people received energy savings advice over
the phone. A total of 134 households have received energy savings advice
through our energy savings project. We produced three energy savings wdeos
as part of the project which we uploaded to youtube and can be easily shared to
people
35 young people have already attended the seven healthy cooking sessions we
have organized where they leam how to cook healthy nutritious food on a
budged. Feedback from some of the young people showed some had never
cooked a complete meal before the classes and following the lessons, promised
to avoid fast food in favour of healthy altemats'ves they will cook themselves. The
cooking sessions gave them a chance to work as a team, create new friendships
but above all, leam a vital life skill.
How our Actlvltles Dellver Public Benefrt
Allourcharitable activrties continuetoaimtohelpimptove support people in vulnerable
situations to reduce the effects of the cosl of living ctisis in their lives. Our energy

savings advice campaign is supporting beneficiaries to leam tips to reduce their
energy consumption smartly and so reducing their energy bills. Our cooking lessons
support young people to learn a new lrfe skill, buy and food on a budget so they can
manage the cost of living crisis.

Statement of Financaal
Activities Financial
Review
Like all small charities, getting funding for projects in the present financial climate
remains the biggest challenge we face.
However. we recognize the present cost of INing sts'll affects the most vulnerable
people in society and we work round the dock to provide the services and support
we get to redu￿ the daily challenges they fa￿.
That is why the two projects we are presently delivering (energy savings advice and
cooking on a budget) are directy relevant to the cost of living crisis. We will continue
applying for relevant grants to support our cuslomers wth other cx)st of living issues
they face.
R￿rve Pollcy
