SALTASH FOODBANK 

Our organisation collects and warehouses food, to provide emergency food parcels from our Drop In centre to clients referred by local social agencies. Funds are also available for limited payments on behalf of clients needing immediate financial help for eg utilities and clothing. Clients are also signposted/referred to to other services that may be able to assist them with long-term needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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