up to 200 food parcels per week:| ||||||we received food donations
from both| ||||||individuals
and local supermarkets
to allow| ||||||us to provide this service, complemented| ||||||by food purchases
funded
through
grants| ||||||and financial donations.
The need for the| ||||||service declined over the period under| ||||||review but remained
a necessity for a| ||||||significant
number of people —and we are| ||||||anticipating
that cost of living challenges| ||||||will reinforce the need for us to continue| ||||||supporting
the community
in this way; we| ||||||also distributed
400 Christmas
parcels and| ||||||1,400 Christmas
gifts in 2020 and 480 and| ||||||1,800 respectively
in 2021. Following a| ||||||pause because ofthe pandemic,
we were| ||||||able to offer homeless feeds in Leeds| ||||||throughout
this period: these are fortnightly| ||||||feeds in collaboration
with St Anne's| ||||||Resource Centre and the Leeds Homeless| ||||||Charter and involve a team ofvolunteers| ||||||preparing
and distributing
warm meals to| ||||||on average around 80 people, some of| ||||||whom come into the centre and some on| ||||||the streets through
our outreach teams.
In| ||||||addition
we have continued
to support the| ||||||elderly and isolated
in our community
with| ||||||fortnightly
days out and cinema trips as| ||||||well as quarterly

tea dances.| ||||||We have been responsive
to assisting| ||||||cases of people fleeing domestic violence,| ||||||assisting 6 people (both male and female)| ||||||into a safer location and then also providing| ||||||home starter packs to those who are ready| ||||||to move on from the refuge and into their| ||||||own accommodation.| |Investment|performance|Para 1.41|N/A| |---|---|---|---| |against objectives|||| |Other|||N/A| ## |Financ|ial|Review|Review|Review|Review|||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |Review|of|the charity's||||||Para 1.21|In the reporting
