MUSTARD SEED (SW)

Mustard Seed desires to show the love of God through practical applications. The charity supports various vulnerable individuals to learn important life and work related skills in a community cafe, and on our sandwich round. The cafe is also the hub of the Helston and The Lizard foodbank (run by the charity) which offers emergency food provision a listening ear and signposting for those in need

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 15 years
