PUDSEY COMMUNITY PROJECT

Pudsey Community Project exists to transform Pudsey and its surrounding areas (an area of 20,000 households) with and for the local community, especially for those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged. We do that through operating Pudsey Foodbank, Pudsey Community Pantry, Reduce Reuse Kids' Clothes, a weekly lunch club and youth and children's provision several times each week.
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

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
