The relief of those in need, by reason of youlh. age, ill-health. disabilty. financial hardship or other

household items such as furniture and other items such as clothing.
Significant activities
The charity actively supports individuals and farnilies liwng in hostels unable to a￿pt accommodation
owing lo a lack of everyday household fumishings. We provide support to enable them to live in their
accommodation by supplying quality furniture and household necessities without cost. Beneficiaries are
referred by one of our partner agencies. having been assessed as being in financial need and hardship. We
protect vulnerable tenants from loan sharks or exceedingly high credit costs by enabling them to create a
home, wilhoul cost. Trustees have regard lo the guidance of the Charity Commission and ensure that all
activities undertaken are compliant with and carried out for the public benefit.ln addition, our charity shop
provides daily, the opportunity for low-income families and individuals lo access clothing, bedding,
cosmetics, books. toys and general household items at extremely low prices. The charity relies on several
means of obtaining goods through donalions from the general public. with regular collections from churches
and mosques. Most of the fumiture is generated by our house dearance services. The re-use of pre•loved
items has a significant impact in tem)s of recycling and the prevention of landfill.
Volunteers
The Truslees wish to acknOh￿edge the role our team of volunteers perfomi to enable the charity to function.
Our volunteers contribute to every aspect and activity of the charity which could not exisl without their
enthusiasm and dedication.

year of Ihe charity, 51 families were directly supported, enabling Ihem the opportunity to establish a home
and receive ongoing advi￿ and guidance. The value of goods given in support (at charity shop prices) was
£8,420 - a deciease of 620/0 from our second year. The families assisled involved 46 children.

Reserves policy
Trustees endeavor to achieve a minimum reserve of 3 months direct costs.
Incoming and outgoing resources
Trustees report that in this third year, 48°A of incoming resour￿$ have been generated by the charity's ovm
sales and activities. This is disappointing in comparison lo previous years, but reflective of the impact that
Covid lockdowns and retail activity had during the year. On the up-side due to the help received in the form
