ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE In our eighth year as a registered charity, we have been able to support many people through our soup kitchens, outreach services, quiz night and with our mobile needle exchange. Over the year we have received grants. donations and fundraising support from members of the public as
well as corporate organisations. We have received physical donations from both businesses and members of the public. We thank each personlbusiness or organisation that has donated to our charity. These donations are paramoLbnt to our organisation and fundraisinB alone would not retain the seNices we currently offer. Increasing numbers of businesses and organisations are aware of the chariVs work, and help including expertise, organising educational talks, and volunteering hours. As a charity, we have held one curry night with a raffle due to time constraint5 along with a few fundraising events run by individuals for MSA. In all areas. we have supported many people into temporary and permanent housing and continue to- support them for as long as they require. We continue to run soup kitchens, outreach, and provide food parcels in all areas. Our food parcel service has increased throughout the year with things returning to normal post pandemic. Working with local authorities, 5choo15 and other authoritie5 to ensure no one in poverty, isolation or in need is left out through the cost-of-living crisis we are facing. We still offer emergency assistance for families in poverty and others facing financial crisis. This includes, but not limited to, the provision or food, furniture, clothing, nappies, kitchen appliances and online only payments for gaslelectricity. This is not only from self-referral but referrals from various agencies, authorities, and education settings. This not only reflects the increased demand but also the relationships we have built with other agencies and the high regard in which The Medway Street Angels are held. We pride ourselves on our level of professional communications with agencies such as DWP, multiple local councils, housin8 associations, substance misuse centres, local charities and educational settings etc. The building of these relationships has been the key to ensuring the charity achieves Its objectives. We have seen an increase in the number of people requiring support. Dve to the nature of our activities, it is impossible to accurately estimate the number of people we have a5515ted but have gue5t5 anywhere between 60-80 per evening at our soup kitchens. At the time of writing, The Medway Street Angels has 41 volunteers who take on different roles, such as street outreach. food collectors, caterers. accompanying guests to appointments and collerting donations to count a few of our activitie5. The time and commitment given by our volunteer5 are vital, without them. the charity would not be able to function or offer the varietv of Services that we do. Their time. skills and commitment are invaluable and are vital to the success of the charity.
