HEREFORD OPEN DOOR 

Since March 2020 (COVID-19), the charity works with Herefordshire Council and its Winter Shelter providing food, drink and other essentials plus supplying emergency microwave meals for newly homeless put up by the Council. When safe to do so, we will re-open our breakfast service. The charity is run by unpaid volunteers, and we rely on the generosity of people's donations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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