NORTH GUILDFORD FOOD BANK

The charity provides food and household items to needy individuals and families in the Guildford area. In some cases it helps with household gas and electricity payments.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
