KINGFISHER CAFE

Kingfisher Cafe provides regular meals throughout the week for the homeless and needy of Bridlington. We provide clothing, bedding, personal hygiene products, facilities for washing and an address for private & official mail (which allows for benefits claims). Advice and support are provided - personal, practical and medical. A homely, caring Cafe where participation is encouraged and given.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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