March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** This last year has seen an increase in homelessness with the amount of people, males and females, in the Swale area, although the situation is all across the county. A lot of people that were seen and dealt with were being left on the streets by the councils as they say they have not got enough accommodation, although they keep applying for funding to get people off the streets. The Bus Shelter Kent will do what we can to help where we can but as you can see by our bank account we are not getting any funding, something we need to change and fast. We continue to supply food parcels - again something that is needed even more as we see an increase. This year we have lost Morrisons - a supplier of donations that has donated to us for the last eight years, who were a big donor to our food bank store. We are finding it extremely hard to do any of the above because KCC asked us for their building back so they could sell it. We managed to get a community assert order on the building but KCC refused to give us an indication of what they wanted for the building. We also could not get a valuation on the property, something we have not got to the bottom of why yet, although the building has now been sold. Let’s hope that the year ahead is a better year for us as a charity as after all we are all for helping people.
