KEYNSHAM FOODBANK 

Keynsham Foodbank provides food to those in need in conjunction with a network of care professionals who can issue food vouchers to those who need extra food either for themselves or for their family. The vouchers can be exchanged at any of our 3 distribution centres for a bag of food. We have a warehouse where we collect the food from doners and transferred to the distribution centres.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
