HARROW FOODBANK

The Harrow Foodbank has as its objective the prevention or relief of poverty in Harrow and surrounding areas in particular, but not exclusively, by providing emergency food supplies to individuals in need and to charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
