The accounts state that the charity is in a healthy financial position moving forward, with reserves increasing by £1,097 to a total of £32,833. The trustees note that revenue from meal sales is insufficient to cover costs, meaning the charity relies heavily on donations and grants. Reserves are held to remain financially viable in the event that donations and grants reduce or cease altogether.
