LITTLEHAMPTON FOODBANK

We are working towards the alleviation and prevention of poverty in Littlehampton and surrounding areas. We aim to do this in particular (but not exclusively) by providing emergency food supplies to people in need, as well as to charities or other organisations who are working towards these goals within our local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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