Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's expenses exceeded its income for the year, resulting in a shortfall that was covered by adequate reserve funds. The trustees report that the reserve fund held just under two years' worth of running costs, ensuring the short, medium, and long-term future of the Foodbank is assured. Demand for services continues to grow, placing increased pressure on resources as grant income has reduced.
