'Charities and Public Benefit,. Summary of the main achievements during the period Achievements and performances over the last year. Our Breakfast Gafe numbers are steady at around 35 visitors per week. We still have a steady amount of Citizens advice referrals. We have continued running blood pressure clinics in conjunction with Live Life Better Derbyshire. These look to reach out to the community by offering free blood pressure checks in the breakfast cafè. We have continued with our family cooking sessions and have run a number of sessions focussing on air fryer recipes. We had very good feedback and one person said they had brought a set of scales and was now trying other recipes. She said that she had recently made a Sunday roast complete with home-made Yorkshire puddings. Which was part fundèd by Active communities and Derbyshire adult education. We found it difficult to attract young people to the youth cafe but were approached by Erewash Borough Council to partner with another organisation to target older young people aged 14 and upward. Hope Long Eaton provided 2 workers on this project. These sessions were held in the Friendship hub next to the Petersham Hall. Although initially challenging good relationships have been built up and anti-social behaviour in the area has started to decline. Over the 2025 summer holidays we again ran weekly family activity sessions branded as Fab Fridays on The Petersham estate. These were held every Friday and ran for 5 weeks and induded a beach party (where it rained and had to be transferred indoors), sports day, foresl school, a family picnic and new this year animal petting sessions. These activities were very well attended with over 240 hildren attending over the course of th8 5 weeks. Our Manna Foodbox has continued to hold its numbers and we have opened a second distribution point in Sawley. This is being run by 8 dedicated team of volunteers from All Saints Church and being over seen by our Project Diredor. We continue to collect surplus food and past best before food from local supermarkets and distributa it at both our Breakfast cafe and Manna Foodbox8S projects. We also support Welcome on Wednesday a local community meal with this surplus food. We are also SUPF)Orting Long Eaton & Sawley Foodbank with surplus food to give out to their clients. We continue to refurbish donated bikes to raise money for the charity as well as carrying out repairs to local people's bikes.
