YEOVIL COMMUNITY MEALS SERVICE

Welfare for the aged, infirm or poor in Yeovil , Somerset and the surrounding area by the provision of hot meals for those, who either through age or infirmity, are unable to prepare meals for themselves and have no other person available to prepare one for them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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