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 | Our distribution food bank operates in collaboration with other community groups and organisations to provide food parcels to hundreds of vulnerable community members in Wolverhampton. We were able to support beneficiaries of all ages, gender, ability, culture and ethnic backgrounds. The provision of special dietary products has helped many individuals who suffer from food intolerances. Our support also helped beneficiaries manage anxiety, stress and depression that may have been brought on due to worrying about obtaining basic necessities. This also helped us promote community cohesion as our beneficiaries were able to concentrate on other areas of their lives i.e. accessing training and job opportunities. We have been able to offer emotional wellbeing services in multiple languages to support clients from different ethnic backgrounds. Nishkam Divine Service have also delivered IT Skills courses funded by the European Social Fund to support those with financial disadvantage, with an aim to improve employability and progression to advanced training opportunities. |
