RE:DISH

RE:DISH works to improve the lives of those in Reddish focusing on projects that tackle poverty and social isolation. We run a twice weekly foodbank, a charity shopm a dementia friendly cafe, and youth group. Our community hub has a number of weekly social groups including Banter & Brews for men of all ages and Crafty Women. These give people chance to meet up, chat and take part in an activity.
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
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
