GURU NANAK'S MISSION 

GNM is a community project with the aim to feed anyone in need of a meal. GNM was founded on the teachings of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev ji; 'langar' (free food kitchen), equality and justice for all. Freshly prepared vegetarian meals are cooked in a Gurdwara and given out for free in Nottingham in the city centre and also to local foodbanks.
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 a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
