Objectives and aclivities
Significlnl *etivities
The year did not start well for the clwity. in the middle of our application proce&s with the Charity
Commission the landlord of the property we were renting on Belle Vue Terrace in Malvern informed us the
lease would not be renewed as he was planning to retire and sell the pro￿ty. This understandably caused
oneern among our service users and a lot of unplanned expense putting everythtng in storage while a
alterJ)ative property was found. Our obligations to seryice users could not be ignored so. while the homeless
charity was itself homeless we continued to supp)rt individuals in need by creating emplo}Thent
opportunities working in storage containers and garages that produced a wide range of unique crafted items.
We then arrang¢d for the use of retail space in local superniarkets and w)Fup space5 at festiva15 to rnarket
th¢ items to the public. This allowed us to continue helping five indtviduals during the summer period.
Our attention focused on r￿dIng premises. After many false staTts 2, Old Stre¢¢ Upton u￿n Sev¢rn was
chosen. It provided enough space for a retail are￿ workshop, oifice, & kitchen, but most imwrtantly. the
rent was affordabl¢.
As we had Practiced when a CIC, it was decided that we would endeavour to encournge service users to
devclop skills that would l¢ad to employment. W¢ had previously encouraged individuals to help repurpose
donated items to sell in th¢ shop as uniqu¢ crafted items and then with the skills they had learne& onwards to
establish their ovm "micro. busine&%es leading them to indcp¢ndent living.
Once we had tsken possession of the new premises It took us over a month to sort out the electric supply)
aTrange for internet connection. and decordte the propertv, th¢n fit out the retail area and workshop.
We also advertised locally for volw]teers to support this new venture.
When the doors were open and we were up and running we made introductions locally to the Trussell Trust
Community Kilchen and Worccst¢r Street Kitchen. We now supply goods to the Trussell Trust on a regular
basis, usually of non-perishabl¢ household g(KKls and fJnaDcial supp)rt to Worcester Street Kitrhen - both
these orgallisations refer peopl¢ in need back to us.
We have recently forged links with the Worcester Street Pastors who ar¢ referring individuals in need to us.
We re*stablished our outrea¢h programme in the centre of Worcester and are in the process of fmding
nding to create a catering kitchen that will operdte on a "Take whal you need......pay if you can. principle
to help us contact more of those in and encourage them to take advantage of our services.
Upton utK)n Severn has a small wpulation of a￿ut 3000 people and f(K)tfall past our retsil outlet is small.
However, Upton is the festival capital of the UL hostiDg major FOIL Blues, Jazz and Family Festivals
during the summer. each attracting about 10,000 visiÉors. Being close to the River Severn (and sometirnes in
it during th¢ Willtcr) weekends can be busy with tourists visiting the Upton Marina and walking the Malv¢rn
Hills giving us iy)ost in revenue.
We currently have four service users, each with a different story to tcll. Polly is working with each of them
individually, helping them to build their confidence tca¢hing health and budgeting skills together with CV
preparation and interview techniques. They all have periods in the workshop where they are paid to produce
items for the shop. We can also arrange visits to local retired solicitor wbo off￿S advice prowlKJno usually
solving debt and divorce issues.
We have built a g(K)d selection of gardening tools that will be offered to a service user to belp th¢ local
elderly community.
Volunteers
We would like to place on records our sincere thanks for the help and support of our volunteers without
whom the charity would not be able to opernte in the way it does
