DUNSTABLE FOODBANK

We are a foodbank operating under the guidance of the Trussell Trust

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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