The FUEL FUND re￿1Ve￿ £1.2k Just 11% of that re￿iVed in 2023.

Re5trKted income only amounted to 40/0 d the cost of purchasng fvel vcwthers in 2024.

SLOUGH FOODBANK Re of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 D￿rntEr 2024 Expendrture from General Funds dumg 2024 was £159.6k compwed lo £125.3k in 2023. Of this increase, £14k (+160/0) was in staff u)sts, driven by lditN￿aI employment hours to cope wth increased demand. and infla￿nary wures crf ￿ages, and £13k was from in<yeased use of General Funds to wrchase food. given the continuiThJ sh¢Nttall bet￿￿en food donations and demand for food P￿els.

In addition to those general operational reserves. £50k cash resKJed in a designated warehouse contingency reserve. This alkmed the trustees to rnrt￿ate the risk of being given notice rf the current landlords circxjrnstances change. The levd of actual reserves is ￿vie￿ed frequently by the Trustees. Golng concem utlook The SU￿esS of the FIP and Ihe incTrased emphasis on signpostW￿ signals a strategic shrft for Slough FoOd￿k, to address wilh d￿rtS cther partners the undertying causes of Food poverty crsis. It is believed by the trustees that ultimately, this apwoach. togets effective lobbying at national ievei by Trussell. wll to hali the devastatng nse n food w)verty m slough thai Slough Foodbank has exper￿n￿. The widening gap betbEen the level of food donations and demand, and the Éncreased staffing levels requi￿ io ￿pe wessute of dienl levels, would otherwise place an Unsustainab￿ strain on the finances of Slough Foodbank going forwar(l.
