REUSE NETWORK LTD. 

The Reuse Network is the umbrella group for organisations involved in the relief of poverty through the re-use of household items. We work to increase goods available, raise the number of beneficiaries and support organisations to manage and develop. We lobby to ensure that legislation and funding benefits the sector.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 22 years
