EASTLEIGH BASICS BANK 

The charity's objects are the relief of poverty and financial hardship for public benefit in Eastleigh and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively by providing food to individuals and families in need. In furtherance of these objects, the charity operates a food bank in Eastleigh town centre, open to the public two days a week throughout the year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
