AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable

Olive Branch
Aid (OBA) does not employ
any staff and delivers
its objectives through
the work
of a dedicated group of
unpaid
volunteers.
Although
the provision of food parcels continues
to be the core activity for OBA, OBA reflects its
aspiration to be more
than a food bank by providing
a range ofother services for service users. These include wellbeing
casework, donations of
household
goods and supporting
other organisations
with similar aims. OBA continued
ta provide
regular food parcels to
families in.need throughout'the
year. The food parcels were tailored ta reflect the size and composition
of
each household
and sought to take account ofdietary and cultural requests where possible. Some ofthese parcels were delivered in person
using a group of unpaid
volunteer
delivery
drivers. The remainder
of the parcels were picked
up by the service users
themselves.
Services Users were referred
from a number
of organisations
to OBA. In addition
ta individual
households, OBA also
supports
three schools and a housing
estate in Southwark at various times during the year.
OBA works closely within the London
boroughs ofLambeth,
Wandsworth,
Southwark
and Croydon.
OBA distributed
food parcels
in the accounting
period that fed the equivalent
of more than 61,000
people for a day.
OBA also provided
an adhoc clothing and household
goods recyciing service for service users. Examples of donated
goods
forwarded
onto service users free ofcharge included
bedding,
furniture
and cooking utensils.
OBA provided
a free wellbeing case work support service. This service was delivered
through
telephone
calls and face to
face meetings.
OBA provided
long te'rm case work support services to 54 service users
in the accounting
period.
OBA received
nan-financial
donations
of food products
from a variety
of partner
organisations
during the accounting
pellad.
OBA functions
under the aegis ofthe Greek Orthodox Archdiocese ofThyateira
and Great Britain,
and provides its various
