The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 28 February 2025

Principal activities of the company

The principal activities of Ginas for the Community during the financial year were focused on supporting homeless and less fortunate individuals through the provision of hot, fresh meals and care packs, while also raising awareness around the challenges they face. These activities helped meet immediate needs in the community, reduced food waste through the use of surplus ingredients, and promoted compassion, dignity, and inclusion for vulnerable groups across South and Central London. In addition to this, the company delivered its youth employment programme, LEEP, designed to equip young people with employability and life skills. Participants benefited from CV and interview preparation, Level 2 Food & Hygiene certification, and meaningful work experience through direct involvement in community service projects. Young people not only gained confidence and practical qualifications but also contributed to raising awareness of homelessness through a youth-led advert campaign. Through these combined activities, the company has supported those in need, empowered young people to become work-ready, and fostered stronger community connections.

Political and charitable donations

During the financial year, the company did not make or receive any political donations. The company is grateful to have received charitable donations and grant funding to support the delivery of its community programmes, including the Youth Employment Programme and community food initiatives for homeless and less fortunate individuals.

Company activities and impact

During this financial year, our organisation has delivered a range of activities that have had a meaningful impact on the local community. Through the LEEP Programme, we supported young people to gain employability skills such as CV writing, interview preparation, and accredited training (including Level 2 Food & Hygiene Certificates). As part of their development, young people have also been preparing hot, fresh meals for homeless and less fortunate people in the kitchen, allowing them to put their skills into practice while giving back directly to the community. A key part of this work has been our focus on reducing food waste by using surplus or donated produce wherever possible, ensuring good food is redirected to those who need it most rather than being thrown away. We organised and delivered community food initiatives, including sourcing fresh ingredients, preparing hot meals, and distributing care packs to homeless and less fortunate individuals across South and Central London. This work provided essential support to vulnerable groups while fostering empathy and responsibility among programme participants. Alongside the practical support, handing out food created opportunities to learn from, uplift, and encourage service users. It gave those experiencing homelessness and hardship the chance to feel valued, heard, and connected, a reminder that support goes beyond a hot meal and extends to dignity, kindness, and belonging. Through Project LEEP, we also created the opportunity to steer young people in the right direction. Alongside employability training, we facilitated awareness sessions that opened honest conversations about the challenges young people are facing, from discrimination to mental health. These sessions provided a safe space for reflection, peer support, and resilience building, helping participants to make more informed choices for their futures. In addition, our awareness campaign on homelessness helped to challenge stigma, spark conversation, and raise understanding of the issues faced by disadvantaged people. Several graduates from the programme have gone on to mentoring roles, providing peer support for new cohorts. This has strengthened sustainability within the project and built leadership skills among young people while ensuring consistent support for participants. Overall, our activities have promoted inclusion, reduced barriers to opportunity, and created both immediate and long-term benefits for the community while also contributing to sustainability by tackling food waste.
