Fruits and veggie box
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The beginning of 2020 was marked by Covid 19 and the first lockdown. Soon we identified in the community the need for food supplied, and we received different referrals for elderly people and families in Watford and Hemel Hempstead. We started to prepare boxes with fruits and vegetables that were delivered for approx. 80 people/families on a weekly basis. Some care packs were also prepared and delivered, a dental practice offering approx. 20 packs. A local restaurant joined the project and prepared hot meals that the charity delivered at the same time with the fruit and veggie boxes. The charity collaborated with different charities and local businesses to amplify the results. The project was well received in the community and it was presented in Watford Observer and an online News station. The project stopped after 3 months due to the lack of funds; some families received food supplies occasionally.
Adopt a Family
Two families out of the three families previously selected in Romania, received occasional help with bills and food.
Reuse project
Two vans with clothes and shoes were sent to Romania, that were distributed by a group of volunteers in collaboration with the local Council/Mayor.
