TAMESIDE EAST FOODBANK

Tameside Foodbank collects donations of non-perishable food and money from the local public, churches and businesses, stores the food and distribute it to families and individuals experiencing food poverty. It works with local voluntary and statutory agencies to identify people in need.
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
  • 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
