FOOD4HEROES CIO 

We offer healthy, nutritious food to those in food poverty. We are centred in Northamptonshire but can operate nationally rather than locally. Our food is distributed via foodbanks and other charitable organisations. Since 2020, we have run an annual Christmas Meal Appeal to provide an individual festive meal for those in need.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
