THE GREAT YARMOUTH PATHWAY

The objects of the Great Yarmouth Pathway are the relief of poverty and social isolation for the public benefit in the borough of Great Yarmouth for those who are experiencing difficulties such as (but not limited to), displacement, homelessness, addiction, unemployment & mental health issues. This is chiefly done through the provision of a free, hot lunch three days a week.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 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
