TOO GOOD TO WASTE (ELLESMERE PORT) LIMITED

We collected donated food that would normally be destined for landfill and redistribute it to people within our local community. We operate a mental health crisis cafe (Flynns Port in the Storm) providing a wide range of counselling and therapy service to those in crisis

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age
Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years

It means people do not have to be alone, struggling with upsetting thoughts or worry. Flynn’s Mental Health Pathway Service offers immediate support to people in crisis or in distress, but also follow up with a range of interventions to help individuals to develop ways to cope with difficulties in their life and find ways that help to prevent a crisis. We will support people who have had a sudden crisis such as a shock, bereavement, relationship issue, etc. we will offer confidential expert advice and guidance, support and referrals to local services if needed. Counselling and therapeutic services as well as a much-needed cup of tea or coffee will also be provided in the café. A grant will support the cost of art therapy sessions. The goal of art therapy is to utilize the creative process to help people explore self-expression and, in doing so, find new ways to gain personal insight and develop new coping skills.
