ROCHDALE FOODBANK

Operating a Foodbank in the centre of Rochdale, we issue food to those in need through a food voucher obtained through various agencies in the town. Our operating systems are based on Trussell Trust recommended methods.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
