Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 1[st] April 2021 To 31[st] March 2022

Charity name: Guru Nanak’s Mission

Charity registration number: 1186663

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The primary objectives of Guru Nanak’s
Mission (GNM) are the prevention and relief
of poverty, for the public benefit in
Nottingham and the surrounding areas, in
particular but not exclusively through the
provision of free hot food to people who are
homeless or at risk of becoming homeless
and/ or in financial need.
Guru Nanak’s Mission also support projects
and events aimed at promoting education
and
physical
activity
amongst
young
children. This support is primarily via the
provision of food for community events.
The activities of the CIO also serve to benefit
volunteers - volunteers express that they
benefit from the social aspect of the project.
Feedback from refugees who have used the
service and then signed up as volunteers
has been outstanding in that GNM have
provided a platform for social inclusion and
a sense of personal worth and purpose
within the community.
The activities of the CIO encourage social
responsibility and support the notions of
collective conscience, strong communities
and social responsibility.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 The primary activity of GNM is provision of
free hot meals to vulnerable individuals in
Nottingham city centre. Vegetarian meals
are prepared fresh on the day and served at
a designated meeting point twice a week.
GNM is also operational on a third day,
where meals are delivered to vulnerable
individuals in the Nottingham area. The
number of meals prepared and/ or delivered
fluctuate throughout the year and are
dependent on demand. On average we
provide 200 meals a week.
Additional activities include:
• Provision of food parcels to local charities
and vulnerable individuals
We work in collaboration of organisations
who deal with recovery services for drugs
and alcohol, domestic violence and
housing.
• Provision of meals to children in school
holidays (HAF programme in collaboration
with Nottingham Forest Community Trust)
• Provision of free food and drinks for
community events
The service also provides signposting and
navigation for vulnerable people who are
either homeless or in search of support
services such as voluntary sector, housing,
short term accommodation, mental health
etc. There has been a noticeable increase
in people who are in poverty and trying to
balance paying their bills or purchasing
food.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 Trustees can confirm that guidance issued
by the Charity Commission has been
considered in the decision making and
running of the charity.
