NEWQUAY FOODBANK

The Newquay Foodbank (NFB) supports individuals and families who find themselves in a situation where they are unable to provide the basics of food for themselves or their families. Working alongside various agencies we aim to support those who come to us and work to get them back on their feet. Working along side the Trussell Trust we aim to eradicate Food poverty where we can.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
