LEDBURY FOOD BANK

Relieve financial hardship to people primarily but not exclusively living or working in Ledbury mainly by providing them with food which they could not afford through lack of means
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

Financial issues to consider:

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