THE CAMBRIDGE CITY FOODBANK

Our Vision is to end the need for foodbanks in the UK. While we work toward this goal, our local Mission remains to meet the need for emergency and affordable food, and tackle the causes of poverty, by harnessing the power of the community. Our Foodbank Welcome Centres provide 3 days' worth of emergency food, and our network of affordable food clubs support people in persistent food insecurity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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