During the financial year, the core activity of Whole Again Communities CIC remained the preparation and provision of food, with cooking forming the central pillar of our community focused operations. Through our Open House initiative, we provided an average of up to 100 freshly cooked meals per day, four days a week. These meals were offered free of charge or at a significantly reduced cost, depending on individual need. Preparation and delivery of meals were carried out by a combination of staff and volunteers, many of whom are local residents and have progressed from service users or volunteers into paid roles. Cooking is not only our principal operational focus, but also a means of achieving wider social benefit. Our kitchen activities serve to address food insecurity, support skill development, and foster social connection. Volunteers have played a key role in all stages of meal preparation and service, gaining valuable experience and contributing to the inclusive and welcoming environment at the heart of our organisation. In addition to in house meal provision, we continued to deliver live streamed cook along sessions with fresh ingredient deliveries to households. These sessions aim to encourage healthier eating, improve food literacy, and promote self sufficiency among families and individuals facing hardship. Complementary services provided throughout the year included wellbeing workshops, gardening activities, a digital hub, and a repair cafe. The organisation also offered informal support and signposting to individuals in crisis, including those affected by homelessness, poverty, and social isolation. Whole Again Communities CIC continued to work in partnership with local agencies and maintained its commitment to early intervention, local employment, and community empowerment. The organisation remains rooted in its mission to support the health, wellbeing, and resilience of individuals and families through practical, food-based initiatives.
Whole Again Communities CIC regularly consults with a range of stakeholders, including service users, local residents, volunteers, staff, referral partners, and representatives from local authorities and charities. Feedback is gathered through informal conversations during service delivery, online surveys, workshop evaluations, and partnership meetings. In response to feedback, we extended our Open House operating hours, introduced more culturally diverse meal options, improved accessibility for people with disabilities, and increased digital support provision. We also adapted our cook along sessions and added child friendly activities based on input from participating families. Stakeholder feedback continues to shape the services we offer and ensures our work remains relevant, inclusive, and impactful.
Directors received remuneration, but this was not in their capacity as directors. Lizzie Sullivan and Graham Lewis are directors of the CIC and were paid for their roles as employees delivering frontline services and operational management. Their pay relates solely to their employment duties and not to their responsibilities as directors.
