TRUSTEES REPORT
The Trustees present Ihis Annu81 Re￿rtIc￿ether wih the FinarKaal Atxyyjnts ofthe charity for the year

In preparlng thls Annual Rewl, the Board of Trustees have not￿ the guvJ8nC8 Set down by tho

Our Annual Report
Havlng completed our se(x)nd full year as a registered charity ICIOI, bullding on Ih8 amazing work we
had undertaken as a communty voluntary group over the previ¢)us 6-7 years, we havo oxceeded all
expectations for this last year seeing m¢xe 150 peop￿ each week and inuease our suslaimbility lo
approximatety £4.000 wcrth of fcrf)d given ¢yJt weekty. to both the homeless and farnilies in poverty.
How we started
Tha work began when Sh¢)shana Gllnx)re was walking thriyjgh a park in Wafford and saw a person
sleeping Iroughl on a bench. Others have often made an immediate compassionate response, vthlch
Shoshana did, but few have gone on to make somelhing happen that would make a substantial
contribution to Iv)rnplessnoss generally.
Shoshana sh8rgd her conc8ms wth h8r husband Uoyd. ar￿ they dechled tcgetherto make il a personal
mission, iniually taking big bags of f(KKJ prepared in their kitchen ir)to London on fhe tube, then
organising a minivan and growng numbers of ¥ohJnteer helpers. U￿n9 trolleys to take food aroun¢J the
streets.
By the summer of 2022 It was clear thal therg was sufficient momentum and support to take things up
a level and the declslon was made to move to charilabk stsius and lo become a Charitable In¢x)rporated
Organisalion. The lounding Iruslees were Sh05hana. ASh￿Y Feldman and Annick Devillard. The
Charity app¢Nnted Marc Bennett FCA, a Chartered Accountant. a5 tts Treasurer on 4" July 2023.
Around half of our beneficlaries are homeless and ￿eepIng rough. the other hall may be hws8d in
substandard propertl8s in the 8r88 and have a range of vulnerabilit￿.

Demand tor our servi￿5 is rising. We sUPPC¥t up to 140 peop￿ ev￿ wegk and there is so much unmet
