Financlal position
Detsils of an

def￿1t
The General Fund exwidrture in 2024 ex(Eeded unrestrided in(x)me received in 2024 by £71k.
This was as a resutt of Ihe decision frLYn the Trustees lo spend the ffK)ney that vras ratsed by 02
employees in 2023. on charrtable activrtEs during 2024.
Inc(Jn
Unrestri&ed Income in 2024 fell to £115.8 k, a deLTease ￿ 30% compared to 2023. This was
partly because over £60k of the 2023 ncome ￿Ose from specfft t2mpaign, related to
auctioning Offi￿ fUMi￿re ￿ the rebCatI(￿ of 02 corwrnte headquartets frcth Sthgh.
Restricted income in 2024 rose to £68k, a 250k increase compared to 2023. In addition to the
£44k grant from Trussell for the SeC￿d year of the Fin￿claI Inclusion woject. a grant of £12.7k
from Trussell was also received to pay for a Signposting employee.
The trustees of Slough FocKlbank here exwess cwr thanks to all our doncys, large and small, both
regular and occasic)nal, vkno Ihtwgh their gerwosty alkM the to operate, to move
fO￿ard n rts strat￿3￿ goals
During 2024, four restricted furKls *ere n op￿at￿, FOOD. FUEL and FINANCIAL INCLUSION
PROJECT (FIP) and SIGNPOSTING.
The FOCKI Fund is for the purthase of fcod essential toiletries. During 2024, the FOOD fund
re￿iVed trNo grants of £5k, frcttn Berf(shKe ComThnty Found*"on: one for T0￿etrieS, and one for
WAnter Food purchases.
The FUEL FUND re￿1Ve￿ £1.2k Just 11% of that re￿iVed in 2023. Part of this can be
attributed to the thange of govemment poly regwding ￿ter Fuel allowan￿, as generous
donors are no longer passing this alkMan￿ to Sl(xJgh Fo(xlbank ft)r Fuel bank. Re5trKted
income only amounted to 40/0 d the cost of purchasng fvel vcwthers in 2024.
The FINANCIAL INCLUSION PROJECT FUND (FIP) was iniliated in response to a restricted grant
from Trussell (forTnerfy the Trussell Trust) that 8IIM Slough Foodbank to provide clients WI￿ an
advice service in partn￿shiP wrth Crtttens Adv￿. The gratt Fxovides £44k for eath of three
consecArtive years to Ix placed in Ihe Fin￿claI IndusKM Propc* Fund. This ￿$tr￿ted fund was
used to spend £23k in 2023 and £44k n 2024 to pay Cibzens AdV￿e East Berkshire (CAEB), who
employ staff to support the Financial Incbjsion Propcl. Payrrents to CAEB are made by quarterly
payments in advan￿. The Servi￿ was laUnC￿d xi October 2023. Therefore 2024, was the first

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.
Investment pollcy and obJectlveJ
The objecti've in the deFQSitiry of fvnds was to maxrnise covwaje of tre FSCS guarantee by
spreading fijnds across dtfferent bankirrfJ groups. Some fvrKls were placEd in instant access
savings accr)unts for interesi, vthile some resefve fvnds knere deposiied in a 9&day notice account
at Redwood for a h￿her interest raie.
Reserves pollcy
The ￿SerVeS provide Slough Foodbank with adequate finanaal stabilty and the means for rt to
meet rts charitsble objectives for the foreseeable future. ft is ￿r policy to hobd unrestricled cash
reserves equivabent to at least IWe￿e months operalional costs (Y a minimum of £80,1￿J.
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 betb*Een 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.
However, Finan￿ n 2025 are expected to L* thallengry, and some wovisN)n of services to
dients might have to be txrtailed n order to achieve the Iwer-term goals.
More positivety. the restricAions during the Pandemic resutted n a severe decline n S￿npos￿.n9
whth persisted long after restrKlions ￿Te terroved. The re(xuibnenl of a grant assisted role
toward the end of 2024 specJfically to improve signposting and to training volunteers in
signposting, is anticipated to have a bene￿.a1 wnpax fcf dI￿ts in 2025.
The Financial Indus￿ Proieo ￿ eX￿ted to t￿l*j ￿ the sjc￿$S achieved in 2024. The is
in a strong position for the slart of the sec￿1 yew. Prctesses ¥e in Pl￿e, relationships wilh
CAEB are good and Slough F￿￿b￿k is cx)nts'nuing to see nKKe fin￿Cial gans for (￿r dients.
It is clear. that the wits Slcyjgh ConThinty, frc*m large Co￿OratI￿S to indNidual small donors
