MANCHESTER CENTRAL FOODBANK

Manchester Central Foodbank, part of the Trussell Trust Network, provides an emergency service to those in need in Central Manchester. We give out emergency food parcels (3 days nutritionally balanced food) and signposting services to those referred to us by front line agencies (social workers, GPs, chaplains, schools, etc.) as well as support in other forms to relieve the impact of poverty.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Financial issues to consider:

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