Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £201,490 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by significant reductions in gifts in kind stock and increased demand for food support. Per the trustees' report, free unrestricted reserves stood at £105,342, which is below the stated policy target of one month's running costs plus an additional month of salary costs. Despite the deficit, the auditors confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
