urng s nanca year, asows op reocae o a new,
more visible venue with more floor space. Due to the new
location, we get more passing footfall, which has increased
our visibility in the community. Therefore, we were able to
provide relief and support to greater numbers of people
through our shop, outreach service, and community hub. We
provided free clothing and household items to over 7,000
individuals during the reporting period. This was a 40%
increase on last year's numbers.
Outreach Service: For those who cannot come to the Shop
due to travel constraints, we continued to offer essential
clothing and hygiene products to asylum seekers in
state-provided accommodation.
Online Shop: Since moving to the new shop with better
facilities, Maslow's has grown its online shop. This included a
volunteer taking the lead on organising, stocking, and running
the online operations. This has offered both the opportunity for
this volunteer to grow their skillset and for Maslow's to
increase revenue. To date, feedback has been very positive
from shoppers at our online store.

The trustees policy is to retain two and a half months worth of
normal running costs in order to meet commitments and to
cover any unexpected expenditure. Two and a half months'
expenditure stands at £21,000 (out with grants which are
guaranteed for the next financial year), and reserves at the
end of the year were at £19,204. During the financial year, we
were successful in securing a number of large grants, which
