Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a deficit during the period, resulting in a reduction of unrestricted reserves to £49,166. The charity faces financial risks from staff costs and food inflation, which may exceed additional income if operations expand. While the charity continues to serve beneficiaries, its financial position is under pressure due to rising costs and limited ability to secure increased local government grants.
