Splott Community Volunteers

SCV provide vital services and resources at the STAR Community Centre, Splott Road, Cardiff, for those in need, using surplus food donations from local sources. We provide a hot meal and fresh food to take away, improving quality of life and supporting the alleviation of poverty, together with generating long-term employment opportunities for our volunteers.

The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 31 January 2025, it had income of £176,796 and spent £120,255.

Figures as the charity reported them to the Charity Commission. Staff and volunteer numbers are only asked of charities with income over £10,000. A year with no row was not reported.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

Income over time

Up 760%, from £20,561 in the year to 31 January 2021 to £176,796 in the year to 31 January 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 68% of its income in the year to 31 January 2025. It spent less than its income in each of the 5 years shown.

From the annual returns the charity filed with the Charity Commission. The largest funder comes from its accounts, read by AI.

Government grants in the year ending 31 January 2025: £10,437 from 3 grants. Government contracts: Not reported.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

These figures were read from the accounts the charity filed with the Charity Commission by Claude, an AI model, in OpenEconomy's accounts reader. AI can misread a table, so check the accounts on the register before relying on a figure.

Only funding the accounts name with an amount is included. Most charities also have income from donations, fees and trading that is not listed by funder, so this is part of its income.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 7 grants to this charity since 2019, worth at least £242,836.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
