How to complain – we want to know if you are dissatisfied

Let us know if you are dissatisfied

Complaints – we want to know if you are dissatisfied with us. Feeding Futures is a relatively small charity with under five paid staff and all Trustees are voluntary. However, Feeding Futures aims to provide a high standard of service to our beneficiaries, supporters and others. If we fail to do this we are keen to know about it, learn from it and avoid repetition.
