Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The charity remains small, being restricted by the amount of food that we can collect from the Felix Project and the number of our volunteer drivers.

The number of house holds supplied has remained at about 80 with some families no longer needing the service and some joining. We have also supported striking care and public sector workers.

We have established a partnership with St Mary’s Church in East Barnet who allow us to use their premises free of charge for the packing of the crates.

While there is some turn over, we have a sufficient supply of volunteers at anyone time. Some of our volunteers are asylum seekers who are glad to help by offering their time and energy.

Regular meetings are held with our volunteers to address any issues and training needs.

The food we redistribute is of a high quality even though it may be near its use-by-date.

The families who receive it tell us that it is a valuable addition to their food requirement, but even then, some have to access food banks in addition.

We value our independence and need to find ways to fund raise that meets our goals, without tying us to other organisation’s agendas.

The trustees have met regularly during the year.
