Provision of food and other essential household supplies to individuals and families in need.
Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased by £11,530 to £135,968, representing just over 12 months of expenditure. The trustees consider this level of reserve prudent given upcoming capital investments in a vehicle and portacabin, and note that reserves are invested in FSCS-guaranteed institutions to ensure no risk to capital. The charity performed slightly better than budget due to new income streams, though it faces challenges from decreasing donations and increasing demand.
