WETHERBY AND DISTRICT FOODBANK

The objects of the CIO are to relieve persons in Wetherby, the immediate surrounding district, and the wider community, who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress in such ways as the Trustees from time to time think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • 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
