## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|The prevention and relief of poverty in the Cardiff<br>area by providing free meals, foodbank facility<br>and advice to disadvantaged individuals.<br>Provision of volunteering opportunities for<br>members ofthelocalcommunity.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The aim of our current project is to offer<br>affordable, healthy, food services to<br>disadvantaged community members, or those<br>who simply struggle to eat on a working wage.<br>We have 24 dedicated volunteers and run a<br>Breakfast Club in the Splott area, providing hot<br>meals for an average of 90 people. Our<br>volunteers form core groups to run the Breakfast<br>Clubs and come together for fundraising events,<br>covering holidays and sickness, etc., on an ad<br>hoc basis, as some also hold full-time jobs. We<br>also raise funds to combine a range of affordable<br>entertainment and food services such as Santa's<br>Grotto, Community Meals, Quiz and Curry<br>evenings, using food as a great ice-breaker and<br>leveller for multi-generational and -cultural<br>groups. We believe that sharing good practice is<br>key and work together with partnership<br>organisations to provide progressive pathways<br>for volunteers of all ages and varied abilities,<br>some of whom are on a journey to recovery from<br>alcohol, drugs, mental health or isolation. We<br>help them to feel more positively integrated and<br>included within the community, which builds<br>confidence and prepares them to move forward<br>in their journey and hopefully into the workplace.<br>Other volunteers have backgrounds, or are<br>currently working in, community development,<br>dietetics, HR, office management and H&S and<br>utilise their skills for the benefit of the charity and<br>its users.|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|Trustees are subscribed to Charity Commission<br>updates.|

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|Operating during the Covid-19 pandemic has<br>been particularly challenging. Whilst we had a<br>number of months where we were not able to<br>deliver any services, when restrictions allowed,<br>we were able to re-start a takeaway breakfast<br>service, in line with government guidance, to<br>ensure our community members were still able<br>to access food and supplies. This also helped<br>with the underlying mental health pandemic by<br>enabling volunteers to engage with breakfast<br>club again, lessening the loneliness and isolation<br>that many felt during the pandemic.|
