SHREWSBURY FOOD HUB

A volunteer-powered charity that stops good food from being wasted and promotes food waste reduction for environmental and social good. We collect surplus food from shops, manufacturers and farms and share it with community groups. In 2021-22, we rescued 175 tonnes of food, mitigating more than 451 tonnes of greenhouse gases and saving our community partners more than 40% of their food budget.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
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

Established: 7 years
