Chair's Report to the Trustees of Moving on- Mid Ar8yII SC041901 OveTview 2024 was a year when the cost-of-livin8 crisis made life extremely difficult for many people and the demand for support from Moving On Mid Argyll was greater than ever. We continued to work with our partners to provide food parcels and starter packs from our premises at An Cala in Loch8ilphead. while preparing the ground for a new Mid Argyll Food Share Hub. We are immensely grateful to everyone who donated food durin8 the year, through collection boxes in the Co=Op, local churches, T3yvallich and Ardfern Stores. Thanks to your generosity, our expenditure on food above that donated has been well wlthln budget. The New Hub Much of 2024 has been taken up with work to set up the Food Share Hub in partnershlp with Mid Argyll Youth Development Services IMAYDS} and the Snowdrop Centre. All three organisations currently provide emer8ency food in one way or another and it was agreed that working together would be both more efficient and effective in reaching more people In need. We were successful in securing core funding from the Nadara A'chruach wind farm which enabled us to set up a one-year pilot in premises provided rent free by MAYDS. Funding has also been provided from Argyll and Bute Council, the Argyll Health and Wellbeing Network, Ar8yll Community Housing Association IACHAI, Arnold Clark and Hendrix Genetics and we are most grateful to all of them for their support. Local traders such as the Co•Op. Jewson's and Travis Perklns have also provlded Invaluable donation5 In kind. The Nadara A'chruach fundlng also allowed us to recruit a part time co-ordlnator who started work in August and through the recruitment process we found a new volunteer who has since become a much-valued member ofthe MOMA team. Renovation of the building was carried out at cost price by MacLeods. who also donated the window and door. The job proved more difficult than predirted and was a frustrating experience with many delays caused by a leaking roof. This was finally fixed in December. and we could start the process of drying out the buildlng In preparation for internal decoration and fltting out. The Environmental Health team at A&BC was most helpful in providing guidance to ensure compliance to the required standards.
Chrlstmas Appeal The success of our 2023 '12 Days of Christma¥ appeal encouraged us to repeat it in 2024 and it was even more successful. helped by a publicity campaign supported by the Ar8yllshire Advertiser. The generous folk of Mid Argyll filled over150 ba8s and thanks are due to the Community Shop who 8athered them in for us. Specific collection points in Ardfern Stores, the Argyll Pharmacy, Bee Sweet and Marmalade Deli were also well supported and two of the local schools held fundraising events. The Salty Dog café produced vouchersfor a preprepared Christmas Lunch which could be bought and donated, and these were included In appropriate parcels. As a result, we could provide very generous gift parcels to households which we hoped helped to make their Christmas a little better. Our volunteers worked hard, ablv assisteé bv a tearn of S6 students from the High School to prepare these parcels and distribute them to the approprlate agencies. Huge thanks are due to everyone who was involved in a tremendou5 community effort. Poverty Alllance Marian Pallister has continued to liaise with Poverty Alliance. and r( has been agreed that once the new premises are opened and volunteers are able to identify difficulties, representatives from different areas of PA will be on hand to support. This applies particularly to mental health. Encounterin8 those experiencin8 mental ill health may need speciflc approaches and access to helpful Information to refer those people on. Some volunteers may also find that their own mentsl health is affected by face•to-face encounters with those in crisis.
