WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED 

To relieve the effects of poverty and social deprivation in North Wiltshire by collecting unwanted furniture and domestic appliances and redistributing them to individuals and families who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 22 years
