| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Nuneaton Foodbank increased the money in the bank by the end of 2023 even though it was an expensive year, needing to buy food at the rate of £3,000 monthly in order to satisfy unprecedented demand. Fortunately, we applied for and received grants which more than covered the expense. We ended the year in a secure financial situation. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Reserves are required to pay for the situation if the Foodbank had to close. Reserves are calculated as the expenses that are incurred for 3 months warehousing, staff and transport, also to pay for possible redundancy of our employee. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £18,254 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | Not applicable |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | None |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | We continue to spend over £3,000 monthly to buy food in addition to our regular monthly ongoing costs of £5,500. We depend on grants to continue providing the service that is needed. We do have bank savings that would enable us to continue for a while without the grants so there are no imminent threats to continuing. |
