Hope Is CIC has continued to provide a pop-up supermarket in both Laindon & Vange, Basildon. The supermarkets sell everyday products at very reduced & affordable prices to the surrounding community. We are still fund-assisted by Essex County Council, and have also been proactive in securing additional grants to help maintain longevity. The membership for new & repeat customers remains at £3.50 per year and as of end of November 25, we had over 600 memberships – providing food for 202 OAP’s, 821 adults & 686 children.
Our stakeholders are the customers who attend the supermarket, and as well as chatting to these members over a cuppa whilst at the supermarket, we have also received additional crucial feedback via ‘feedback-forms’, which we leave out to be filled in anonymously. We also have a team of volunteers who run the supermarket from purchasing & pricing up the goods, to heavy lifting and setting up on the day. We regularly check in with the volunteers for feedback & suggestions to ‘fine-tune’ the operational side of things. Ultimately, we aim to provide the products requested by our customers as well as making access better for those with disabilities, following the feedback we receive.
The director running the supermarket was paid remuneration of £20,037 via payroll. A second director was paid a one-off director's fee of £500 via a personal service company.
