BOUNDLESS TRUST 

Working in Looe and South East Cornwall we operate a youth and community hub. We run youth activities, a drop in welcome space, deliver meals to those in need twice a week and bring people together for a monthly community meal, operate a hardship fund on behalf of the town and run a food distribution service in conjunction with Liskeard and Looe Foodbank.
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 several prominent grant makers including the Government recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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