Eastern distrirt of Northampton,
Financial review
Financial position
Cafe
There was an increase in income from the sale of food to customers from £80,068 to £89,077, partly due to
increased sales and partly due to increased pricing.
Unfortunately the increased income from sales in the Café did not quite cover increases in costs which
were £91,582. This is however better than the loss made last year when costs for the café were £95,239.
Grants
Overall grant income was down from £130,975 to £109,216. This was due to a reductlon in grants from The
National Lottery which was expected as there were significant additional funding from The National Lottery
in 2023 for general maintenance and top ups for existing work
Communlty
Providing the communlty activities for the elderly and supporting FISH meant an expenditure from grants
of £70,037. This is less than that spent in the previous financial year of £83,660 which means that even
with the reduced amount of grant funding received this year, restricted funds for community work have
increased from £23,994 to £31,229
Going forward
While the Café is still financially viable we need to increase our reserves whlch are currently running at
around 6 weeks whlch is less than the 2 months required. Lease contracts for the dishwasher and coffee
machine have now expired and are not being renewed as well as a move to Virgin Money Bank, which does
not charge banking fees mean that our outgoing5 have reduced this year but we will need to increase prices
to ensure long term viability
Funding for our charity work continues to be healthy with an increased range of activities being provided
along with sUPPOrt for FISH and the Foodbank. To ensure we can continue to provide these services we are
looking to obtain new grants to replace those which will be ending in Oct 2026.
Reserves policy
The charity will aim to maintain a balance of three months spending in reserves.
