17. Other plans for this year
1.
We will look more at our service users needs and see how we can best
provide a seven-day-a week food delivery service consisting of a mixture
of meals and groceries
2.
We will offer more varied ways for service users to develop skills for
example by joining volunteers to support Eating Together or meal
preparation.
3.
We will look at how our services can be integrated to provide nutrition
services that are appropriate to people in all stages of living with HIV.
4.
We will expand our range of web-based materials on nutritional
information, recipes, and budgeting and shopping tips for those living with
HIV.
5.
We will use the kitchen to ensure our services are delivered as efficiently
as possible, changing the way we purchase food to reduce costs.
6.
We will diversify our income and use the new kitchen for fundraising
activities to ensure we have the resources to continue providing services.
7.
As we approach the end of our existing strategic plan and develop a new
one we will continue to listen to, and work with service users to ensure
our services develop to reflect changing needs.

That the new Articles of Association be

SiobhánThis is where the 301 people referred so far this year live. We are available to support people from all London boroughs, the only borough we have had no referrals from so far in this financial year is The City of London.The highest number of referrals have come from Hackney 9% (28)Southwark 9% (27)Haringey 8% (23)Newham 7% (22)
SiobhánComparing the referrals to people with health issues we would have difficulty delivering our prepared meals to the people living in the boroughs with red wheels. That’s possibly 89 people (including dependents) who are unable to receive one of our key services.
SiobhánThis map shows where we have been able to deliver meals, and the total number of people in the boroughs who have benefitted from our Sunday meals.

SiobhánWe’ve helped as many people with our Eating Positively cookery and nutrition classes as we have with our delivered meals, 193 people. We provide these for our own service users every Monday and for other HIV support groups as requested. We’ve a had a great time working with Body and Soul, Positive East (including over 50’s group), CWAC (young people). At their sites and in our kitchen.
Siobhán65 people have come to our weekly Eating Together sessions where they have had the opportunity to get involved with growing vegetables at the local community garden and have heard from other HIV support groups such as …
