However, £31.346 is reserved for salary, heating and lighting support and a reserves policy. This financial year we have paid £5,000 for rent and £15,000 towards the Pantry Manager’s salary.

Other notable gifts have been received from the Freemasons of West Lancashire, The Coop and the Pantry Gift Day organised by Mr. Phill Clarke. Together with many regular donations received from members of the public.

The Income and Expenditure Account 2022 shows the expenses broken down into categories Food, Rent, and Cleaning etc. The rent has been paid in full, our contribution towards the Pantry Manager’s salary and cleaning cost have also been met.
