BATLEY FOOD BANK

The alleviation of the effects of food poverty and specifically to create and operate a food bank in Batley and the surrounding area
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
