WINDERMERE AND DISTRICT FOODBANK

The Windermere Foodbank operates in the area from Grasmere in the north to Grange-over-Sands in the south, supporting the area not covered by the Barrow/Ulverston Foodbank on the west and the Kendal Foodbank on the east. In co-operation with such organisations as Cumbria C. C. Social Services and the C.A.B. we give emergency food to people in need. Periods of help have been increased in pandemic.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
