Financial Review Progress Report:
August 2024– Jul2025
During this reporting period, the charity has continued to experience a sustained and significant increase in demand for its services. Referral numbers have risen steadily year on year, with partner agencies across health, education, housing and social work continuing to rely on the organisation as a first point of support for individuals and families experiencing hardship.
In particular, demand for larger household items has reached its highest level to date. Requests for furniture and electrical goods have increased substantially, reflecting a growing number of households presenting with little to no essential items, often linked to homelessness, tenancy changes, or financial crisis. Meeting this level of need continues to place considerable pressure on available stock, storage capacity, and delivery resources.
The charity’s annual Christmas campaign in 2024 once again supported over 2,000 children across Glasgow and surrounding areas. While this achievement reflects the scale and impact of the organisation’s work, it also highlighted the increasing operational challenges associated with delivering a campaign of this size. Following careful consideration, the Board of Trustees and I agreed that the 2024 campaign would be the final Christmas campaign delivered in its current format, due to limitations in stock availability, volunteer capacity, and overall organisational resources.
The charity remains committed to supporting families during the festive period; however, alternative approaches are currently under consideration. Any future provision will be designed to ensure sustainability while continuing to meet the needs of the communities served.
Overall, the organisation continues to adapt to rising demand while maintaining its core mission of providing essential support to those most in need.

Objectives and Activities
Charitable Purposes
To Provide relief to families in poverty and in crisis by the storage and distribution of clothing, toys and other household goods that may be needed. To help people in working poverty who may not meet the criteria for other agencies.
Activities
We collect donations from the public and redistribute them to people in need with West Central Scotland predominately Glasgow. We have stringent quality control to ensure that all goods given out are in good condition. We help all ages from babies to pensioners.
We accept self-referrals and professional referrals. Self-referrals are followed by a home visit to assess client's needs. Only essential details are collected, and no details are passed to other organisations. Professional referrals do not require home visits as the professional referrer has carried out necessary checks prior to approaching the charity.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees’ policy is to have £2000 in reserve which will meet running costs and cover any unexpected expenditure. This figure will continue to be checked periodically.
