Part 1 — General description of the company's activities and impact

Describe the activities the company has carried out during the year and how they have benefited the community.

Throughout the year, Made Up Collective CIC has continued to engage deeply with residents in the Kingsmead Estate and wider Hackney community, delivering four cornerstone projects: • Kingsmead Community Shop (Social Supermarket) • Over 50’s Social Club • Twice Weekly Resistance Training Sessions for elders • Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) support Our community-led Social Supermarket continues to be a critical support infrastructure for residents facing food insecurity. Every Saturday we provide nutritious food to over 90 families at heavily subsidised rates. We have successfully maintained our £10 weekly shop offer despite a 10 percent rise in wholesale costs. This year, we distributed approximately 45,000 bags of fresh fruit, vegetables, and essential groceries. The shop remains highly accessible and community based through word of mouth referrals by customers . Over 4,000 volunteer hours have been contributed, strengthening community solidarity and intergenerational support. Our weekly Wednesday social club has maintained strong attendance, with 45 local elders regularly taking part in bingo, dominoes, music, and a cooked evening meal. This project continues to play a crucial role in reducing social isolation and improving mental wellbeing among older residents. Now in its third year, this project has demonstrated significant improvements in the physical and emotional wellbeing of participants. Elders have reported considerable gains in mobility, balance, confidence, weight loss, muscle mass, and overall independence in their daily routines. Both over 50’s projects have reached capacity. We have developed waiting lists and have unfortunately had to turn new participants away. We have continued our holistic approach by formalising delivery of one-to-one IAG support for residents facing issues such as housing, benefits, and employment. This provision totals 15 hours weekly, triaged on a needs basis through referrals from our existing projects and community word-of-mouth. Alongside our core work, we have continued: • Catering for Church of Sound community music events and wider catering. • Partnership delivery with Company Drinks in Barking as part of HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) provision.
