BILLINGHAM AND STOCKTON BOROUGH FOODBANK 

The Foodbank collects food from various sources and issues food parcels to individuals and families in crisis, in the Stockton Borough. Partner agencies decide on need and issue vouchers. Staff and volunteers give advice and signpost clients to help address their underlying needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
