It includes LCM Administrative Office, Meeting Space, Charity Shop, Christian Book & Card Booth and Pantry Project Ifoodbank}. All areas of work located in the Hub have continued to see a slow 2nd incremental growth pattern during the year. In the middle of 2024 Dagmar Truman brought her fourteen years of service with Leeds City Mission to conclusion. Sinclair Martin succeeded her as the new Hub Manager on 3 November being responsible for activities within the Hub viz.. Charity Shop, Christian Book & Card Booth and Pantry Project. A new part- time Retail Assistsnl also commenced in the Autumn. Charity Shop The charity shop project operates in a section of the new Mission Hub. It opened on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays each week). It also opened on Saturday mornings in the four weeks before Christmas. The charity shop has an informal role as a listening and counselling centre as visitors and volunteers unburden themselves. Relationships are established lo share the hope of the gospel for those who are struggling with life. LCM staff and volunteers are finding many opportunities to share the gospel in word and deed. Some grants of clothing were made to needy individuals and groups in desperate need. Work experience was provided for those wanting to gel back into work. The project has been able lo help people in recovery from ill health, addiction and mental health issueg by providing work experience and personal support. Surplus funds have been generated lo assist the work of the Mission. Various churches and individuals have donated clothing, bric a brac and household items lo this project enabling sufficient stock levels in the shop. New display layouts have been experimented in the shop during the latter half of the year.
Pantry Project The LCM Hub is the distribution base for the Pantry Project. Surplus free food was sourced from Aldi, Tesco and Sainsbury supermarkets. Supporting churches have also made food donations especially during the harvest festival season. All donations are regularly collected and delivered lo the Hub. The food IS Used for needy visitors many struggling on slate benefits as well as homeless visitors in need of sustenance. Grants of food were also made to churches in Leeds who are seeking lo help people in need in their own locality. In 2024- 548 trays ofsurplus short shelf Ilfe food were received from high street supermarkets (Aldi, Tesco, Sainsburyl. In addition, 2102 individual items were donated by shoppers through the in-slore 'front of house, donation boxes as follows- AldN 1, 634 items, Sainsbury- 468 items. Volunteers have operated Pantry Projeot Sessions at the Mission Hub running concurrently with the Charity Shop & Christian Book & Card Booth. The 548 trays of food (largely short shelf life food) were received from supermarketslolhers and these were distributed to people in need or used in food grants to assist churches in their caring aclwilies. This increase is over double of the amount received and distributed compared with last year. 209 food parcels were given out to 62 different individuals in 2024. 196 foodbank sessions were operated in the same period of lime. Thus an approximate average of 3 tray5 of short shelf life food plus 1 food parcel were given out every session the FoodbanklHub were open. All donated items were put to good use by LCM volunteers who made up food parcels distributed them in the name of Jesus helping some struggling families living on the edge to make end5 meet. Some snacks were provided lo homeless people, olhers-in-recovery from addiction and mental health issues plus other needy people referred lo LCM. In 2024, the Charity Shop, Christian Book & C8rd Booth and the Pantry Projeot have been a place of engagement touching a variety of people through practical help, a word in season for the Ltsrd. ¢onversation. prayer or literature provided. Christian Book & Card Booth The Christian Book & Gard BiX>th is an adjunct lo the charity shop project and il serves a role as a resourcing base for basic literature for churches and individuals in Leeds. Shelves and display units stock imited range of books, bibles, cards and gifts. Donations of good second hand Christian books have been received from individual supporters. A generous grant of new books and Bibles was received from the 1 OoffhosePublishers al the end of 2023 and sales of this stock has been slow bul worthwhile as the year progressed. AppToximately 1000 general and seasonal greetings cards (all with scripture texts} plus a range of books and bibles were sold lo the publiG by the end of the year. 300A of the display shelves are designated to the sale of new books and bibles. The rest of the displays rnarkel second hand Christian books. There has been a slow momentum in sales- however it is increasing. Slow growth in takeup is most probably due lo a number of reasons. Disposable income is low in inner city areas which is exactly the geographical Context in which the City Mission Hub is located. Also the City Mission Hublchristian Eook & Card Booth profile has yel to become a prominent feature on the City's christian landscape. A bargain book sale thrust was part of our LCM Praise Events in June & September. Bibles have been sold to a number of customers. African and other people from different ethnic minorities seem lo be the majority cohort of purchasers of bibles. This reflects the concentration of immigrants found in such an inner city area as Armley and the proliferation of black majority churches operating in deprived areas. In July 2024 - 406 copie5 of the Scripture Union book Ils Your Move were distributed to Year 6 leavers al seven primary schools in partnership with Leeds area ehurches. Al christmas LCM facilitated the supply of 1300 copies ofthe Living Word Colour Gospel Calendars. These were distributed either direct from the Christian Book & Card Booth or via orders from local ehurches in the city. The initiative lo retail both Real Easter Eggs and RealAdvent Calendars proved to be successful after last yea¢s pilot projects. The sale of 72 Real Easter Eggs and 72 Real Advent Calendars was facililaled. These innovative eggs and calendars an excellent gift- they follow the biblical seasonal story, they include an illuslraled booklet about easterlnalivity, are fairtrade chocolate and a percentage of the cost goes lo medical pro1lS in Africa.
A quantity of used christian books surplus to the requirements of LCM were donated lo Book Aid during the course of the year. In a small way Leeds City Mission is addressing the need for a physical retail outlet for christian books and greetings cards for churches in the Greater Leeds area. WlnterProjects Warm Space Project This project ran in January, February and March resurning in November and Decembei. A lolal of 58 sessions were provided and allracted 139 visits from people who stayed for warmth, refreshment, chal and fellowship in these periods of time. These sessions offered a free, warrn and welcoming place lo be for people struggling with limited income, increasing living costs and life in general. A financial grant was received from a Ial Community Association which covered costs of operating this project. Christmas Kids Gift Project 135 toys and gifts were received for the annual Chnstmas Kids Gift Project this year_ This was a slight decrease of 10% on last yearfs total. These came from a variety of sources including supermarkets, churches and businesses. LCM were able lo distribute these lo identified familie5 in need. Where approprkgte, the children's nativity bible story books accompanied the gffts. Christmas Grft Tags Project 7978 Christmas gift lags were created from 3854 used greetings cards by volunteers. This was a 351) increase on last year. These were freely distributed to churches, LCM supporters, Gharty shop customers and the general public during December. Holly Spr8 50 sprigs of holly were distributed as christmas decorations to the general public in mid December. Chaplaincy Servlces Chaplaincy work at both HMP Leeds & Wetherby Young Offenders Institute has Gonlinued this year. The chaplain is undertaking cell visitation. chapel services, one-tone counselling and work with small groups of inmates on both siles. This is a challenging and demanding role bul provides many opportunities to bring gospel hope lo inmates who have broken lives. At Christmas a seasonal Leeds City Mission project enabled LCM Chaplain to make a small gift to 60 prisoners in HMP Leeds. A pair of socks. a chocolate bar, plus a small book containing the story of a reformed prisoner were included in the gift pack. Care Home Chaplaincy has continued this year with the LCM Dislriel Visitor assisting in fegular services at a Care Home in north Leeds. Direct Outreach Work Changing circumstances, availability of volunteers and olhei factors meant that the weekly'slreel Session, came lo the end of its season during the course of the year. It was replaced by a new initiative- a Tuesday Evening 'Drop in, se55i0n based at the Hub was commenced seeking to capitalise on the good will and relationships engendered by the work of the charity shop and foodbank. This is facililaled by staff worker Tayo Olayinka and has an emphasis on developing relationships with people visiting the Centre.
