This year as a company we continued to successfully provide a variety of services to vulnerable people in our community. Our current community activities are:The Community Food Garden Volunteer DaysSupporting 50- 70 volunteers weekly, with varying physical health and/or mental health needs, to be a part of a thriving local food growing community . Participants are supported to gain skills to grow and cook their own healthy food, to learn natural crafts, to gain social skills and improve the quality of their health. The volunteers express how being involved in the community garden has improved their quality of life, helping them regain their confidence and created a feeling of belonging and sense of purpose. Volunteers have expressed how taking part in these days helped them develop confidence, social skills and skills for employability. Many have expressed that being a volunteer has helped them recover from whatever difficulty they have been facing, and in this sense their experience is therapeutic. Our staff offer regular check ins, and supervisions to volunteers, and when relevant , signpost them to other organisations and services which can further support their needs and personal development.As well as growing food together for one another, volunteers also grow food and harvest for the local market to contribute towards the project costs as well as harvesting for those experiencing food poverty in the local area. Community Open DaysWe regularly hold open days for all the community to take part in . Our volunteers and our youth group take part in preparing for and running these events. Ob average 20 -30 volunteers take part with 100- 150 members of the public in attendance. These days benefit the continued personal and social development of out volunteers as well as providing activities and inspiration for other local people to use our garden and/or get involved in one of our projects to be a part of positive change in the communityFamily Allotment SpaceWe established this project to target, vulnerable isolated single parents with young children living in the town centre with no transport and on low budgets. As well as to Home Education groups. The project provides a safe secluded space for vulnerable families and young people to socialise and creatively play together, learn about food growing and healthy eating, with specialist workshops in parenting, mental health care , outdoor play and craftsStreet food projectThis year our company continued to find the resources to tackle the rising homelessness and family food poverty in the local area. Over this year we have co-ordinated 150 local volunteers to provide nutritious meals and drinks to 30- 40 homeless and/or hungry individuals and families every night of the week. Surplus food is collected from supermarkets , and we host community cooking day. The local town council , churches, community groups and county councillors have showed support for the project.The Food StoreThis year The Campaign to End Child Poverty estimated within our local area over 5000 children live on or below the breadlineTo continue to address the escalating food poverty in our local area , and to successfully meet the unmet needs of households in the community, we established The Food Store to enable local families to access adequate nutritious food on a weekly basisFrom our existing community networks we were already aware of many families struggling to access adequate food and experiencing barriers to accessing the local Food banks. We assessed these families need for food and additional vulnerabilities and as appropriate registered them with The Food Store and offered signposting to other support services.The Food Store collects excess food from local shops and businesses. Our team now supply regular shopping , bags of healthy food, including fresh fruit and vegetables, to over 40 family households.
