STILL GOOD FOOD 

Still Good Food is working to reduce food waste by accepting donations of surplus food from various sources (supermarkets, producers, farmers, etc) that would otherwise be wasted and redistributes it to the general public for a minimal donation. We have two shops, one in Bury St Edmunds and one in Great Barton in Suffolk.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers including the Government recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
