WAKEFIELD STREET KITCHEN

We help homeless and less fortunate members of our society by holding a street kitchen in Wakefield each Wednesday evening. We also help meet any pressing needs at any other time.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • 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
