LOOSE ENDS NEWBURY

We are a drop in centre serving food to the homeless and vulnerable in the Newbury area. The preparation and serving of meals is our main function but we also provide groceries, tins, toiletries, clothes and bedding to those in need. It is also a place where people can socialise. We work with other organisations and agencies who can offer help and signpost those in need to the relevant groups.

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 recently
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
