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 | Over the course of the year the NFB has supported 3968 people with a food parcel giving 3 meals a day for 3 days. In addition to this each individual has received a fresh food parcel containing bread, milk fruit and veg to sustain a healthy diet. This is equivalent to 35,712 meals. Beyond this we have worked with other charities to supply additional specific parcels for those housed during the pandemic period including Kettle boxes And Homeless packs as requested by agencies or council. We have this year joined the Trussell Trust which is the National network of foodbanks allowing us to access vital resources, training and funding to better place us to support the community. Giving the NFB a voice on the national level to target the root cause of food poverty. Due to the increased workload directly caused by the pandemic the NFB applied and successfully received grants enabling the employment of a part-time Operations Manager to remove some of the oversight roles placed on the key volunteers and Trustees board. A further grant enabled the purchase of a van to take the strain of volunteers vehicles in the collection and distribution of food around the community and 3 sites from which we operate. |

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 |
NFB aimed to continue services throughout the pandemic unhindered by loss of volunteers and a large growth in the amount of individuals and families who require our support. Throughout this year not a single session has been cancelled and one site has been relocated to a bigger venue to ensure increase in demand can be supported at all levels. |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The fundraising team have beat all expectations to provide essential funding not only for our core purpose of providing food to those who need it, but also supplying funding for the key employee placement and the purchase of the van that have both been vital in the achievement of the charities aims. |

Was combated through the development of relationships with Morrisons who put aside essential food items to ensure that the food parcels could always be created and distributed according to need.
