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|Blackpool, the area in which the charity operates,
is one of the poorest areas in the UK and has a
disproportionate number of homeless people and
those living near the margins. Our sessions attract
40-60 people each week and all have benefited.
Apart from a period when we were closed down
due to Covid restrictions, our volunteers adapted
operating methods and continued to offer an
outdoor service to clients by erecting a gazebo at
the hall door where food was served, and meeting
clients at the rear door to give them food parcels
etc. when they were not allowed inside due to
social distancing rules. We have also steered
clients towards government and other
organisations to help them with specific problems
such as homelessness. The charity worked in
cooperation with the Local Authority and other
charitable organisations to provide as wide a
service aspossible duringCovid restrictions.| ## Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| ||SORP
