Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	By providing low-cost food each week for 80 members, we reach an average of 190 people, which includes members’ family members. This lessens the fnancial burden on the members of PFFA, and provides them with healthy and nutritious food which they otherwise wouldn’t be able to aford. We also see our volunteers make great progress in both confdence and a range of skills including communications, numeracy, literacy and food hygiene.
