Open Kltchen So¢lal Club Director5 report for tho year ended 30 September 2024 Review of actlvity for October 2023 to September 2024 accounting year Open Kitchen Social Club (OKSC) started life as an independent, constituted community group in 2014. On 11th January 2024 we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Our free weekly socials are on Mondays from 10am at St Andrews URC Church Hall, Upper Hanover Way, S3 7RQ and also on Tuesdays, currently from a temporary base in the Quaker Meeting House (whilst the Sanctuary on Chapel Walk is being refurbished). We currently provide more than 175 meals each week. All are very welcome to come along & join us- we share a free meal together at 12:30pm. As part of our outreach, OKSC also provTrde Dhal and Pide Bread once a month for those who attend the Victoria Hall Wednesday Drop-ln sessions, to introduce OKSC to New Arrivals. OKSC is a special project providing free shared meals and the lifeline of human connection lo anybody in the city who needs it. Meals cater for all dietary requirements, and the people who eat them can be refugees, asylum seekers, homeless or just local people who need sustenance or wish to connect with us. These sessions increase social cohesion & help relieve isolation. We had a great time on Christrnas Day itself, with many who would otherwise be on Iheir own, sharing a Christmas feast. presents, music and dancing, in the Sanctuary on Chapel Walk. Our seaside coach trip in August was to Llandudno in Wales this year, as a lovely change from the East coast. Our volunteers, session leads and trustees also had useful Away Days in Edale, allowing us to get to know one another a bit better, away from the pressures of cooking to a deadline and formal meetings Our Away Days help us find out what people currently enjoy, value and appreciate about OKSC (why they come & Join in) & ways they think it could usefully develop in the future. This year we have continued to support our members. We give a basic induction to new volunteers_ We refund the cost of Food Hygiene Level 2 training for those who can lead sessions. Hope English School are providing free term time ESOL classes during Monday sessions for our volunteers. We enjoyed benefits training from Citizens Advi & 1 aid for Adults from the Red Cross. Our event catering provides useful team building & paid work experience, plus some financial support for our weekly sessions. We catered for 40 events this accounting year. These were wide ranging, from a field kitchen in a tent for a wedding in Gainsborough, to a paty which required a trek across Flying Horse Lawnl We apply for Grant funding most years. but also invite people to help secure our future, by joining our group of Friends of OKSC who give regular financial donations- we welcome any multiple of £5 a month- enough to help pay for the ingredients for two meals. We give thanks for all who support our project- with shared time, practical help, financial donationsldiscounts, shared life experien. skills. Invitations to cater and donations of ingredients.
