FURNICHURCH

The prevention or relief of poverty through the supply of second hand furniture ( free to those in desperate need ) and food from the community Food Larder ( based at and run by Furnichurch) to people in the LN 12 area facing financial hardship. We supply good second hand furniture to local people on low incomes in return for a donation and offer a free collection service for unwanted furniture.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
