NORTHWICH COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Our aim is to prevent good usable food going to landfill. We achieve this by working with partner organisations who donate food that is distributed to our 3 Hubs at Sandiway/Cuddington, Weaverham and at Rudheath on a weekly basis. At our hubs people can obtain this food. We also signpost our patrons to other organisations for further assistance.

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 recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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