Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that demand for foodbank services decreased by 17 percent on total meals supplied compared to the previous financial year. However, the charity notes that the cost of living has increased, leading to a decrease in food stocks from over 10,000kg to approximately 7,100kg. The trustees report that sufficient donations are received to minimize the amount of food purchased, though donor contributions have cut back.
