FOOD REDISTRIBUTION WALES LTD

We source edible surplus food from food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, which would otherwise be disposed of as waste. We redistribute this food, and donated food, through community food members to disadvantaged groups. We provide a wide range of meaningful volunteering and/or work experience opportunities for individuals from all walks of life. We provide training for our volunteers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,781,666 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
