## **Financial Review** **----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 Overall, 2020 was an exceptional year
financial position at the from a financial perspective. The
end of the period closing balance of ~£122,500 showed
an increase of over £67,500 from the
previous year, due mainly to a huge
increase in the number and size of
donations. The result is that the
Foodbank finances are now in an
extremely healthy state and we, the
Trustees, can feel comfortable in
increasing the level of support we offer
to clients.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 The purpose of the policy is twofold:
policy for holding 1. to ensure that NCFB holds
reserves, stating why sufficient funds, such that
they are held unforeseen circumstances do
not cause a lasting disruption
to its activities.
2. to enable NCFB to make
financial commitments not
connected directly with its
day-to-day activities, safe in
the knowledge that essential
funds required for the
continuation of the foodbank’s
routine work are not affected.
