	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	IFB has supplied 964 food parcels dur- ing this period to families and single people. That is approximately 2900 peo- ple and the number of children in- creased from last year. We were able to signpost some clients to CAB for debt and housing needs with positive results. We worked with CAB and the local housing people in enabling some clients to become independent of the food bank. We were invited to several organisations to share the work of the Trussell Trust and IFB in particular there by raising the awareness of the local population
