ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities & Achievements

The main achievements of the charity during the period covered by these financial statements and report have been the establishing of the charity, securing two major grants and fulfilling the obligations under those grants.

These grants have helped to pay the start up costs of the charity including training, uniforms and acquisition of a catering trailer which enables the charity to fulfill its objectives.

Struggles 2 Smiles offers paid training to disadvantaged young people,some of whom are young offenders, in street food cookery and standard hygiene with all the meals they prepare and cook going back into the community by offering a street food pantry to communities across South Wales helping to relieve food poverty and bringing communities together through regular pop up street food events.

The charity works alongside local and regional businesses, Councils, Welsh Government , Fairshare Cymru & Social media to collect food and monetary donations to be made into tasty and healthy street food. As a result the charity is contributing in a positive way to food waste savings by utilizing useable food that might be sent to the waste bin into meals and hampers distributed to disadvantaged families and homeless shelters across South Wales.

Hot meals are delivered to families in need and to homeless non funded supported accommodation.

The charity has enabled a number of young persons from disadvantaged backgrounds to secure paid training.
