BREAD OF LIFE OUTREACH

Serving the homeless and vulnerably housed in Exeter and the surrounding area. Providing food, essentials for life on the streets, social, emotional and spiritual support
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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