Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| 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 | The charity has not been able to achieve its targets due to a lack of fund raising. In the current economic climate there have been no donors as the businesses we contact are struggling financially. The charity has been trying to raise awareness of food poverty however there has been a significant increase in the number of food banks in the local area which have impacted the need for our service. There have been many challenges especially the on-going Covid 19 pandemic, which impacted our staff and volunteers. Our priority was and will always be to support people in financial hardship. Our charity was set up during the covid 19 pandemic as there was a greater demand to support people who were unable to work and who needed assistance with food. We are looking to recruit new volunteers to support our charity to achieve our goals. Our fundraising activities, which require face- to-face interaction with the public, have been hindered due to the pandemic. We are going to focus more on our online presence and increase our marketing online. Once we have raised our target amount we would like to open premises to operate from on a regular basis. |
