Communities Food and Wellbeing Hub CIO

The Board of Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31[st] October 2022

Acknowledgements

On behalf of Communities Food and Wellbeing Hub CIO, the Board of Trustees would like to take this opportunity to express their sincere thanks to each and every one of our founders, families, individuals, volunteers, health and various professionals, sponsors, grant donors, institutions, centres and communities that have encouraged and supported Communities Food and Wellbeing Hub CIO throughout our first year of operation.

The feedback from the community has been incredibly positive and we will continue to support school families, the over 50s, individuals struggling through the impacts that the cost of living challenge has on food security, emotional wellbeing and inequalities health through 2023.

Below is a sample of some of impact responses to our school holiday hunger packages, food-health-wellbeing programmes, over 65s socials, allotment socials through this year:

“Just to say an enormous thank you for the incredible food bags that came this week. Unfortunately, I was not in school on Wednesday so didn't see them arrive. However, I did see lots of them leaving with children yesterday. A number of the children were very keen to show me what was in their bag. On behalf of the children their families and the school, my heartfelt thanks. Your act of kindness and generosity will be of great benefit to those families over the coming weeks.” - Head Teacher, Netherhall School

New College

“Once again I can’t thank you enough for your kind donation of 50 food packages for our families these will have such an impact on helping to get them through the holiday period.” - Bernie (Wellbeing Officer)

“Parents have been absolutely been blown away by the contents of the food packages I have had one in tears as she said she hasn’t seen so much food in her cupboards for weeks. Another couldn’t believe it was halal so her and her family could enjoy all of it.” - Bernie (Wellbeing Officer)

‘Thank you thank you, you will never know the difference this food package has made to our lives.” - Parent

“WOW now I can spend more on my gas to keep the house warm.” - Parent

City of Sanctuary

“We delivered your wonderful food packages today and our families were overjoyed.” - Maggie (volunteer)

“Thank you so much for delivering this food, and a Big Big thank you to them. After a long time I have received it such nice food” - a Parent

Thank you so much for the food - Parent

Avenue Primary

“This will help so much with the Christmas break coming. Times are hard.” - Parent

“ This is an amazing thing you are doing! Thank you” - Parent

Netherhall School

“Thank you for including us again with these fantastic support packages. Our families were extremely grateful for the support.” - Joanne (Wellbeing Officer)

‘The care and organisation that has gone into the packages has been amazing. The food items have been well thought out and include really useful essentials alongside some treats that were a wonderful surprise! Different food tolerances have been catered for alongside offering foods for different cultures – this must have complicated the process for the charity but has made the packages feel really personalised. The feedback from families has been overwhelmingly positive, they have been so thankful and have expressed how much of a difference it will make to their families over the holidays.’ - Joanne (Wellbeing Officer)

Feedback to Food & Wellbeing programme cycles Loughborough

‘I've learned about what foods I can and can't eat, the acceptable range of my blood pressure and how to save money on food and things for the home, I would definitely come back again, I've become comfortable around the small group I was in and I'm sad that it's over.’

‘The programme has strengthened my knowledge regarding my health concerns. I found the meetings to be beneficial, not just for me, I can also pass on some of the information and contacts to others who could be of benefit.’

‘I realise that it takes a while to improve personal health and it is important to persevere. I am gradually improving my health due to changes I have made and continue to make.’

‘I have learned what food I can have and what I should stay away from or eat in moderation, where to go for good deals and cheap food on a budget.’

‘I'm not healthy and now is the time to change. Monitoring blood pressure regularly, monitoring thirst and blood sugar. Increase healthy eating and walk more. Meditate and sleep better.’

‘I'm very grateful for the help. Recipes printed and necessary food provided has been extremely helpful. Thank you’

‘It was wonderful to have a GP to be able to ask questions as when I go for my annual review there isn't time for questions. Social Prescribing team, good to know who they are and what they can do.’

These and the positive impact articulated by our guests, volunteers and communities of what they have learnt, skills developed and their passion to contribute to the positive experience of their wider community, is what has demonstrated that Communities Food and Wellbeing Hub is adding value.

Thank you once again to all our stakeholders, volunteers, employees, donors and individual contributors for your continued support.
