Annual Impact Report 2019-20

Hardship Fund - Our Response to Storm Dennis
On 15th and 16th February 2020, Storm Dennis hit the UK and brought a month’s worth of rain
in just 48 hours. Parts of Wales experienced multiple floods and landslides with many people
evacuated from their homes. Homes were flooded, causing great physical damage to household
items, and great emotional distress to residents.
Following the devastation caused by Storm Dennis to people’s homes across Rhondda Cynon
Taf, we teamed up with ‘toogoodtowaste’ a local re-use charity, to provide essential household
items to people who’s homes had been affected - using our Hardship Fund (money set aside
each year from commerical activities).
21 Families accessed
a total of £3,840
Items purchased included:
14 electrical appliances
3 three piece suites
4 furniture packages
3 washing machines/tumble dryers
2 whites goods packages
Cupboards, armchairs and other items
were also purchased.
“Thank you so much for your
support, I really don’t know what
we would have done without it”
“Thank you ever so much for
helping me and my children out it means so
much. There are people and charities like
yourself out there and I really can’t thank you
enough.”
