NUNEATON FOODBANK 

We are operating as part of the Trussell Trust Foodbank Network, for the prevention and relief of poverty in Nuneaton and surrounding areas by providing emergency food supplies to individuals in need. We receive regular and generous donations of food from a network of stores, businesses, religious groups and individuals across the town. We distribute from four centres and each opens twice a week.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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