GIVING WORLD 

We are dedicated to fighting poverty and protecting the environment with one simple idea: saving brand new business surplus from landfill; life essentials, like shampoo, bedding, nappies, washing powder, and distributing it to those in our communities that need it the most.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 recently
Established: 20 years
