FARESHARE YORKSHIRE LIMITED

FareShare Yorkshire is a charity which redistributes surplus food donated by the food industry, which would otherwise go to waste. This food is received by charities and organisations, we call Community Food Members (CFMs) who provide food and meals for vulnerable people. We also provide Employability Programmes to support individuals on a ath to employment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
