THE FORGET-ME-NOT TRUST

The distribution of food and clothing to the homeless

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why is the Board completely male?
Why is the Board composition 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
