Financial Review Review of thè charlty's financial position at thè end of the period Para 1.21 The balance in hand at the end of the period was In the region of £43,000. against a ￿serveS policy of £15,000. However this does include £17000 whlch is restricted grant mongy from the National Lottory for employee costs. As oxpected, the Increase in all areas of costs has played a part in our expenditure over the year. Notably the waste disposal dlrectivo from the Welsh government increased our disposal costs by at least £500 though throughout 2024, small increa8es wore applied due to the now UK govgrnment budget Changes taking effect. In 2024, we were donated 35,522Kg of items and bought 21,081 Kg. The ratio of bought v donated was in Ilne with 2022's percentsge of 37°/0 bought v 63° donated. Tho public donat8 about through Ihelr own fund ralslng activities, colle¢tion points in retall shops or through food drives at one of tha major supermarkets. In 2023's report, It was expected that tho public donations would decrease wlth inflation and other factors throughout 2024. Thls has not been the casè thls last year whlch is unexpected. In food parcèl costs. we have bought £25,852 worth of parcel items which works out to be £1.22 per kg. When convertlng this into the cost of buylng items, thls would have been in the region of an extra £43,560 for 2024 If we were to buy in items for parcels ourselves wlthout public donations. Please note this is an approxlmallon alculation for demonstratlon purposos. There has been work through a volunteers led initiative in buying items that wlll not go to waste. Hence the cost of buylng Items has changgd downwards between 2023 & 2024. Thoro has been no drop in the quality of the items in each parcel elther and special ention must go to our volunteers who have contributed to this cost-saving. In torms of roferrals, wa rocelved 2180 referrals {assistlng 4432 people overall) whlch is down from the 2850 re uest5 in

  1. There were 980 uniquè cllents helped In 2024 though this number relates to the porson making a requost rathef than the numbor in the household. Tho decreaso in numbers may be the result of other work with agencies and forms part of a large project in 2025 to Investigate causes. Comparing monetary donations from the general public to 2023. this year saw a docrgase along wilh onllne donations though OrganisationslBusiness donations increased. However, this is done without promotlon and "word.of. mouth" is primarily how wo receive funds. We continue to employ a warehousè operatlons manager (full timel and driver (part tlme). Without either and our core volunteers, AFB would be nowher8 near providing the currentlovel of sorvice across the Island. A fact noted by sovéral organisations who would bo stuck without the Foodbank in assisling people in need. The fundlng for these employeo costs was mèt by a Nalional Lottery grant which runs through to the end of March
  2. We have also employed another driver for cover durlng 2024 which was not grant funded. AFB will be focussing on further grant applicatlons to sustain the operation over the nèxt year. The grant has relieved pressur8 on funds throughout 2024 and Into Iho first quarter of 2025. AFB continue to improve our warohouse operatlons and have to thank the volunteers who have come in and have worked hard to increase efficlancy and have beèn encouraged to implement measures wlth our full support. AFB had no concerns over the short term finances Ihrou hout 2024. A reserves policy has been agrèed by the Trustees and it was felt that we should endeavour to malntain a balance of at least £15000 in thè bank account to cover omployment costs for at least 34 months lus other ex endlture. £15 000 nla Slalement 8xplaining the policy for holding reserves stating why th8y are held Para 1.22 Amount of reserves held Reasons for holding zero reseNes Para 1.22 Para 1.22
