REACH COMMUNITY PROJECTS 

We run projects aimed at helping clients who are in financial crisis these included: A drop-in centre to access Reach resources; Free debt advice; Foodbank providing emergency food parcels; Starter Packs providing essential bedding and kitchenware; Client Aid providing essential items such as white goods; and our outreach team who take all of the Reach resources out to surrounding villages.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 8 years
