EAT CLUB

Good food, prepared from scratch and eaten together communally can help young people lead happier, healthier lives.We offer bespoke cooking courses that are designed to improve the relationship young people have with food and address the underlying barriers to healthy eating and physical and mental wellbeing. Courses are delivered in partnership with various organisations in and around London.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
