TIPTON FOOD BANK

We offer free food to those who are in poverty or need via a voucher based system where voucher-holding agencies assess need and issue accordingly. Vouchers, when presented to the Food Bank, will entitle the client to 3 Days of food. This can be done 3 times. We also signpost and offer advocacy in relation to debt counselling and relief.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

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