CHARITY RIGHT
We are an international food programme that provides regular meals to schoolchildren and families in the most neglected parts of the world. In the case of emergency situations, we aim to find innovative ways to offer long-term support to affected communities, our mission being to see a world in which hunger is no longer a barrier preventing people from reaching their full potential.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The charity's unrestricted reserves fell to £8,969, which is below the Board's stated policy target of maintaining three months' operational expenditure. The trustees attribute this reduction to temporary cashflow optimisation.
