DOM'S FOOD MISSION 

From May 13th 2015 to present we have reduced, by tonnes, surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and be thrown away and have been using it to feed over 4k mouths per month. making a real difference to so many lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
