Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The charity was fortunate to secure funding for the warm space scheme run by the local authority, enabling us to extend our coffee morning to provide a warm, welcoming open house providing hot food and social interaction. This made such a difference to those who attended as they valued the opportunity to build new relationships and share information and ideas. The charity was again fortunate in securing funding for our roof, which is now water tight and secure. This has been an ongoing project for the church and we can now look forward to opening the building for more community projects. Our Foodbank has been under increasing pressure this year as needs have increased. We have taken on more volunteers from the community who have a heart of the work of the Foodbank. Despite our resources being stretched, we were delighted to be able to provide 36 hampers for those most in need in our community at Christmas. The church has continued to provide a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment which open to all. Providing support and encouragement for the members, community and wider community.
