SALFORD LOAVES AND FISHES LTD 

A day centre for Homeless people in Salford. We provide shower and laundry facilities, advocacy, dental service, doctor's surgery and tv lounge. Clients can enjoy a hot meal from our cafe area and can relax or play pool in the TV lounge area. We also engage clients in activities e.g. arts and crafts, bingo, reading, street soccer and put on training courses for clients from time to time.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
