GIVE. HELP. SHARE. 

We provide vulnerable children with free healthy food bags via schools. Not only do we offer food, but it is equally important to us that we offer nutritious, plant-based food with an additional aim of re-educating families on healthy food choice.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 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
