Para 1.20|Through our support and partnership
working with the Daventry Community Food
larder we have been able to give the local
community access to cheaper and healthier
food with the aim of reducing food poverty.
We would judge this as a success based on
the growing numbers accessing this service
with over 600 members registered.
With the provision of the Youth Club in
partnership with Daventry Town Council and
Youth Inspired we support on average of
over 30 young people a week to gain access
to a safe space where they learn new skills
and grow in confidence. A separate holiday
club was run during school holidays to
ensure access to the service was
maintained and enrich young people’s
experiences.
Our seasonal events/shows we have
reduced social isolation and creating a better
community cohesion. The charity clearly
sees a need for such events/shows with an
average attendance of approx. 80 persons.
The charity also attends and hosts local
steering groups and other such meetings
with a view to better the community| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

exceeded the income received due to an
increase our energy costs associated with a

energy bill can increase by up to 3x the
summer average due to the means in which
the building is heated.
The increase in expenditure has been met by
using funds brought forward from the previous

which will be carried forward to FY24/25.
