GRACE FOOD BANK SHEFFIELD

The prevention or relief of poverty, amongst people residing primarily, but not exclusively, in the S8 postcode area of Sheffield by the provision of emergency food parcels, items, services and facilities to help individuals in financial need.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
