MIDDLESBROUGH FOODBANK

Middlesbrough Foodbank provides three days of nutritionally balanced emergency food to people in crisis. Vouchers are issued via frontline professionals, including doctors, health visitors, social workers, Citizens Advice Bureau staff, welfare officers, the police and probation officers. Vouchers can then be exchanged for food at various distribution centres across Middlesbrough.

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
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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