ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities & Achievements

Having established itself last year with support from the Moondance Foundation in acquiring a food trailer facility the charity has continued its work during the year covered by these financial statements towards meeting the objectives of the charity.

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

The charity works alongside local and regional businesses, Councils, Welsh Government, Fairshare Cymru and Social Media to collect food donations 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 food that might be sent to waste bins into meals and hampers distributed to disadvantaged families and homeless shelters in the South East Wales area.

Hot meals are delivered to families in need and to homeless non funded supported accommodation. The charity has provided allowance paid training to a number of young persons in need.

During the year the charity is proud to list some of its specific achievements:

The charity has trained another ten young people in Catering & Hospitality to NVQ levels 1 & 2 Food Hygiene standards providing those individuals with valuable skills and improving their employment prospects.As part of this programme cooking demonstrations were put on using ingredients sourced from food banks raising awareness of food insecurity and showcasing creative ways to utilise limited resources.

The charity engaged with four high schools in Cardiff and the Vale working alongside South Wales Police Community Support Officers in creating interactive sessions designed to inspire and educate young people about culinary skill's, creativity and promoting healthy eating.

In an attempt to reduce food insecurity the charity organized cooking demonstrations utilizing foods available from food banks, operating pop up hot food banks and providing low cost fresh food hampers to families, individuals and homeless shelters.

The charity is proud to have won the Nisa MADL Award for the second year in a row and also won Bupa Community awards for providing a hot meal service to OAP's.

Continuing our tradition we organized Christmas Day lunches for homeless shelters and families in Cardiff and the Vale.
