Section D                      Achievements and performance During 2023 we had over 3500 visits to our community fridge, saving **Summary of the main** more than 15,000kg of food from being wasted and helping 200 **achievements of the charity** households make sure they had enough to eat. **during the year** In April we were very excited to have a visit from 40 amazing women who built us the most amazing community garden for us all in one day! The impact of this Garden has been astounding and in the first season of the Garden we were able to grow Tomatoes, Lettuce, Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Strawberries, Raspberries, Chilli Peppers, Broad Beans, Rhubarb, Leeks, Spring Onions, Peas, Chard and Spinach. This was a great start to the Garden and meant we were able to cook food with it for the community, give it away and fill our community fridge with more veg. This was just the start and we are really excited for what next year has in store for the Garden. During the winter we once again opened a warm space at the community fridge so that members of the public who were struggling to heat their homes could come and have a warm place to relax, play games, build community and access the fridge. This was well received by the community and well attended. 

We have been meeting in both the community garden and forest school site for our Sunday afternoons exploring faith. Having the garden space has given a brilliant place for us to connect with the wider community. We are excited to see how it will develop in 2024.
