Section D Achievements and performance Wlth all this generosity coming to the door and plenty of supplies we set up soup kitchens in 2 locatlons, we made our street homeless community aware of the locations, times, and days that we would be there, Neil would prepare and cook meals to tske to the soup kitchens which was transported in thernial containers so it remained piping hot up to the point is was then transferred into heated serrfing containers, meals on offer ranged from spaghetti Bolognese, fish ple, curry & rlce, lasagne, stew & mash, sausage, mash & beans, every soup kltchen would have a dlfferent meal available each evenlng and plenty of hot beverages to go round and there was now an abundance of snack Items they could take wlth them. All meals were cooked daily and with f￿sh ingredients, we could also take along essential Items of clothSng, tents, sleeplng bags, etc. to hand out when needed, not only did our street homeless have the securlty that they had a guaranteed hot meal and beverage of an evening and they could get a fresh set of clothes but most importantly it brought many of our street homeless together where they made good friendshlps and their little communlty groups for safety in numbers and it helped reduce soclal Isolatlon wlthln the street homeless communlty. Summary ofthe main achievements of the charity during the year January 2021 through to January 2022 we supported approxlmately 102,500 Indlvldual persons 6,500 of those were extra free school packed lunches over 6 weeks supplled to school chlldren that would normally get a free school meal, over December 2021 our monthly servlce user flgure rose from 8,000 people a month to 9,000 and stiii It Is Increaslngft wlth fuel Increases the way they are going and the uncertainty of the Covid situatlon we forecast that we will be supporting over 10,000 service users a month by the end of Februaryi if this Is the case by December 2022 we wlll have provlded support to 120,000 Individual serrfice users Just from our Gillingham based foodbank these numbers do not include other charities that we provide food supplies to or food parcels distributed from our Unit in Chatham plus the extra free school packed lunches over the half term breaks, summer holiday break, Easter break and Chrlstmas break, thls Is forecasted to be an extra 15,000 individual lunch meals provided for children, not forgetting the other items we also supply as in furnlture, clothing, and other essentlal items. Over tlme our services have expanded, we adopted an allotment plot for a quiet and safe place for those that are keen to help and volunteer but are not comfortable on the front-llne work. Sainsbu 's had 150 hours labour to ive Novembgr 2020 TAR Gllllgham Stroet Ange18

Section D Achievements and performance to a charity, we were overwhelmed and honored that they chose Gillingham Street Angels to support in the regeneration of our plot shared with the Kent Autlstlc Trust, the 150 hours labour was supplled by Sainsbury's as part of their 150th birthday celebratlons, so that's how the allotments began its amazing transfomiation managed by Gavin Baker, then about 6 months later Gillingham Street Angels acquired a 2nd plot luckily enough it is adjacent to our 1st plot for further growing of sustsinable fresh fruit and veg, with thls expansion it opened up more opportunity to enable more people to get involved that were sufferlng with exlsting mental health condltlons, mental health conditlons developed due to social isolatlon and the knock on effects with the uncertainty's of the Covid pandemic, Both plots together meant double the work and neither plot are In any way small. So, Gavln Baker took further control of thls as well as hls full-tlme job wlth Salnsbury's and wlth hls vast knowledge and expertise Gavln got together hls own team and tumed 2x rather un-kept and derellct plots into an amazing place to grow our own fruit and veg to use wlthln our charfty network, Gavin later became our volunteer allotment Manager and a Trustee on the 3rd June 2021. We were so Inundated wlth household goods in the early part of 2021 that, although we were able to sell lots of Items to keep the income rolllng in, we were struggllng to sell on goods as fast as they were comlng In so, we started a free furniture giveaway open to anyone, thls has become very popular and will remaln an ongolng servlce. We also focused more on our exlstlng would be landftii waste and expanded segregation of recyclable waste and non-recyclable waste and created a recycling bank not only for our own waste but for others to be able to drop In to designated sites particular Items of plastlc waste, electrical waste & clothlng waste, which Chatham football club kindly sited one of our clothing recycle bins, thls project was taken control of and run by our fantastlc Glna Carpenter and Glna also run the Crlsp Packet Project st. Mary's Island which turns crlsp packets into thermal and waterpmof sleeping bag covers, survival bags, woven floor mats and many other useful items for our street homeless communlty, this is also designed to help reduce landfill, we also created a free school unift)rm swap shop/bank also run by Gina to further help and support families in desperate need of extra support due to the cost of required uniform with embroidered items even with a grant from the govemment for those that were ellgible to receive it, a lot of families were still really struggling to find the monies to urchase all the re ulred kit in some TAR Gllllgham Street Angels November 2020

Section D Achievements and performance cases this was a result of the pandemic, loss of jobs/income to the family household. We also help support families and our street homeless with care for their pets to the best of our ability as pets are part of a person or family and to us that is Just as important to ensure that the animals are supported as well.
