||urng s nanca year, asows op reocae o a new,<br>more visible venue with more floor space. Due to the new<br>location, we get more passing footfall, which has increased<br>our visibility in the community.  Therefore, we were able to<br>provide relief and support to greater numbers of people<br>through our shop, outreach service, and community hub. We<br>provided free clothing and household items to over 7,000<br>individuals during the reporting period. This was a 40%<br>increase on last year's numbers.<br>Outreach Service: For those who cannot come to the Shop<br>due to travel constraints, we continued to offer essential<br>clothing and hygiene products to asylum seekers in<br>state-provided accommodation.<br>Online Shop: Since moving to the new shop with better<br>facilities, Maslow's has grown its online shop. This included a<br>volunteer taking the lead on organising, stocking, and running<br>the online operations. This has offered both the opportunity for<br>this volunteer to grow their skillset and for Maslow's to<br>increase revenue. To date, feedback has been very positive<br>from shoppers at our online store.<br>|
