Other FoodBank Reserves Policy
The reserves agreed at £5,000 by
trustees meeting January 12 [th]
2022.
Reserves needed to because at
present the income from
donations falls short by more than
£200 per month of the cost of
provided free food to those in
need - the main charitable aim of
the FoodBank.
The difference is made up by
grants from various bodies but
these cannot be relied upon in
future.
The FoodBank also needs reserves
because it needs to secure
permanent premises and this will
cost £1,000s. At present the
FoodBank pays rent for its
premises but has no security of
tenure and it has already had to
move once during its first
18months.
this figure will be reviewed
annually starting from
February 2023”
