FOODSHARE

We feed people in and around Maidenhead who are in such poverty that they are unable to feed themselves properly, along with other support where appropriate. We also provide volunteering opportunities for people in and around Maidenhead to provide help for people in poverty who may live outside the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
