CATCH is currently in its 17th month as an active food aid charity.
We have been doing some analysis of exactly what we have done, and whom we have helped,
and these are some of the details:
Between 4th June 2103 and 13th October 2014, CATCH has supported 190 claimants or claimant households.
In that period, in all, CATCH gave out a total of 420 food packs, amounting in all to 3207 PFDs *.
94 males have been the recorded claimant
98 females have been the recorded claimant
There are 3 instances where the record does not make the gender clear
In all, 49 couples have been supported
There have been 4 couples, where each member has been the claimant on separate occasions
The total of individual adults supported, claimants, partners and other dependents, was 241 .
81 individual children under 12 have been supported, of which 9 were infants or toddlers
49 individual children over 12 have been supported.
102 claimants have had just one pack
29 claimants have had 2
18 claimants have had 3
11 claimants have had 4
19 claimants have been supported on 5 occasions or more.
* PFD = person-fed-day
CATCH aims to provide some breakfast, a main meal and a snack meal, for each day, for each person supported.
So eg a pack for one person for five days, feeding one person for five days is rated as 5 PFDs.
Or a 5-day pack for a couple and two children under 12 is rated as 15 PFDs.
