NANTWICH FOOD BANK 

The relief of poverty in Nantwich and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to individuals and families in need and/or charities or other organizations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
