FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY UK

We are an international Christian partnership working in 20 of the world's poorest nations, meeting both physical and spiritual hungers. Our primary emphasis is on long-term development among the extremely poor, recognising their dignity, creativity and ability to solve their own problems.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
