HOPE FOR FOOD

Hope for Food supplies clothing, boots, toiletries, hot food, soup, sandwiches, fruit & veg, tea and coffee to the homeless through community meals in Bournemouth. We also help struggling families with weekly food hampers, clothing and occasionally household items.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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