WIRRAL FOODBANK

We collect food from the public via Churches, schools and supermarkets and through a voucher scheme held by frontline agencies registered with Wirral Foodbank who signpoint clients to us, we provide free three days worth of food for individuals and families in Crisis.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received 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

Established: 8 years
