Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income was £571,150 against total expenditure of £446,511, resulting in a net surplus of £84,638. However, the trustees report a projected financial deficit for the foodbank in 2026-27 due to the end of significant time-limited grant funding and the need to secure new warehouse premises. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £108,638 and notes that it does not set an upper limit to reserves, maintaining a prudent level for unexpected expenditure.
