activities, as|||well as|| |||||fund-raising
in support ofthese activities. Without the||||| |||||support
and efforts|ofour volunteers
the charity||would|not| |||||be able to provide|the services
it does. The trustees|||| |||||express their sincere thanks for the continued||support||of| |||||all volunteers.||||| ## ## |||||||meant that the demands
on our charity for practical| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||||assistance
did not decrease, even when the direct impacts| |||||||ofthe pandemic
had reduced.| |||||||In order to protect the sustainability
ofour services, we| |||||||converted
our food bank into a 'social supermarket',| |||||||following a model that has proved effective
in| |||||||neighbouring
areas.
People become members
and pay a| |||||||financial
contribution.
Notwithstanding
this, the cost of| |||||||food purchases
to allow the supermarket
to operate has| |||||||weighed
heavily on the charity and we have been very| |||||||grateful
to receive food donations
from both individuals| |||||||and local supermarkets
and businesses
to support
us, as| |||||||well as being able to access a range ofgrants and| |||||||financial donations.
The need for the home delivery| |||||||service declined
over the period under review but support| |||||||through
the social supermarket
remained
a necessity for a| |||||||significant
number of people - we estimate
around 2,000| |||||||individuals
and families annually.
We are anticipating
that| |||||||cost of living challenges
will
reinforce the need for us to| |||||||continue
supporting
the community
in this way. In 2022 we| |||||||also distributed
508 Christmas
parcels and 2,100| |||||||Christmas
gifts.| |||||||We continued
to offer homeless feeds
in Leeds throughout| |||||||this period.
These are fortnightly
feeds in collaboration| |||||||with StAnne's Resource Centre and the Leeds Homeless| |||||||Charter and involve a team ofvolunteers
preparing
and| |||||||distributing
warm meals to on average around 80-100| |||||||people, some ofwhom 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
uarterl
afternoon tea dances.| |Financ|ial||Review|||| |Review|ofthe charity's|||||In the reporting

systems
