HANGLETON AND WEST BLATCHINGTON FOOD BANK

We provide emergency food and other urgently needed domestic and personal supplies to people and families in need living in the Hangleton and surrounding areas. We receive donations of food and and financial support from many local businesses/schools/churches and individuals. We hand out food parcels every Wednesday from St George's R C Church Hall in Court Farm Road Hove.
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 a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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