BURGESS HILL COMMUNITY CUPBOARD CIO

The charity is a membership based food operation providing food to people on low incomes in the Burgess Hill area. A weekly subscription is paid by members and this entitles them to shop for food to a higher value than their subscription.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:
