• “A New Welcome Hub for Refugees, funded by Manchester City Council; the Elevate partnership in Salford, funded via Salford CVS and by the Albert Gubay Foundation Trust and a new 5-year programme with the National Lottery.”
• “increased self-generated income through the development and relaunch of our Community Café that delivered over £60,000 in revenue.”
• “development and roll out of new IT systems for Fundraising and Logistics/Retail have proved fruitful in securing more Gift Aid as this process is automated and easier to use with our customers.”
• “redevelopment of the Café and new IT systems were funded by the loan we secured with Co-op Bank for capital investment in the last financial year.”
• “Last year, 1329 people accessed our New Welcome Hub, and we helped over 100 people into private rented tenancies.”
• “June marked 30 years of Mustard Tree's work in Greater Manchester.”
• “In 2024-25, we increased our impact and the number of people we helped, increased our income, better managed our costs and delivered a small surplus to contribute to reserves.”
• “We conducted a cost reduction plan which meant that we spent over £100,000 less than the previous year through not replacing staff members who left, reducing food costs and renegotiating supplier contracts.”
• “In 2024-25, we increased unrestricted reserves from £74,717 to £119,025 in this financial year and we will add to reserves over the next 12 months.”
• “In 2024-25, Mustard Tree dissolved Stand Firm CIC, a company limited by guarantee that has been dormant and not traded for a number of years.”
