Section D Achievements and performance Due to social distancing and COVID19 restrictions we were unable to operate the soup kitchen throughout 2022 however we continued to cook and deliver hot food to those who were known to us as vulnerable and socially isolated. Summary ofthe main achievements of the charlty during the year During the period of january 2022 Ihrough to December 2022 we supported approxirnately 168,000 people, with monthly service figures at the Foodbank steadily rising month on month. We have cooked and delivered around 4,500 free meals for the HAF projects throughout the year, providing hot food and packed lunches during the 6 weeks summer holidays, Easter break and half term. The HAF project provides food to those school children who would normally receive free school meals. The above numbers do Not take into account the other charities and good causes that we provide food supplies/parcels too from our Unit in Chatham. Due to the high number of household donations received we secured a short term lease on trie old Argos building on Chatham High Street and opened as a large scale furniture shop. We sell good quality iterns such as white goods, large and small furnlture, bedding, electrScals etc and as the free school uniform bank has expanded we have relocated it to this premises as there is more space. Furniture that cannot be sold is glven away for free in a separate Section of the store. We continue to recycle waste where appropriate and are in negotiations with Medway/Norse Recycllng Centres to collect their waste next year. We also help support families and our street homeless with care for their pets to the best of our ability as pets re part of a person or family and to us that is just as important to ensure that the animals are supported as well, To ensure food waste is at a minimum, food that cannot be used for human consumption is offered to Happy Pants Animal Rescue.
