This may include practical support meals , together with telephone or personal contact to encourage positive physical and mental health. The charity was born out of a need which became apparent during the early stage of the pandemic . At present we are delivering a hot 3 course meal once a week to 35 people. There is no restriction on vulnerability, which may be by age , infirmity, isolation or immobility. We were caught out by storm Arwen when much of the local area was cut off by reason of power, water or telephone outage for 7-10 days. We were able to open a local café which provided hot meals at minimum cost to those who could get to Broughton. Through volunteers we contacted , and where necessary visited and fed, outlaying vulnerable ; in extreme cases we organised first responders to render medical assistance where necessary. ## OUR FUTURE PLANS Broughton and The Duddon Valley frequently suffers disruption to travel, electricity , water or telephone communication and this is likely to continue with the type of climate change that the UK is experiencing, Future plans are based on resilience, and plans are underway to build a new kitchen at The Victory Hall from which to operate weekly and more importantly in time of an emergency. The charity will fund the purchase of adequate ready meals to provide one per day , for 7 days to current clientele of 35 people. More and longer could be accommodated if required ## THE STRUCTURE OF OUR ORGANISATION Duddon Community Support is a registered charity with 7 trustees –each with a particular area of expertise. It has 9 volunteers who act as deliverers. It has no paid employees. We charge £3 for a 3 course hot meal, not everybody pays, Each meal costs DCS approximately £4.50 to produce, At present the meals are produced each week in a local café which cooks by gas and so far has been able to stay open even with other outages, New Trustees are always welcome, subject to clearance. ## **Duddon Community Support** ## **EE REPORT** ## **12 Months to 31st December 2021** The trustees recognise their liability for clear policies concerning - Child protection, Safeguarding vulnerable adults, equal opportunities and disability access.to public buildings. **Duddon Community Support Income & Expenditure Account 12 Months to 31st December 2021** |**INCOME**
