About

Since 1993 BASE Services has been providing lunchtime meals to people who may lack the facilities, resources, skills or finances to make a meal for themselves. In 2016 we asked what if instead of providing meals, we provided opportunities to people to make a meal for themselves and launched 2nd Shot a social enterprise providing hospitality training to people experiencing homelessness and long-term unemployment. Products and services include Food & Beverage Products. Primary beneficiaries include People experiencing & at risk of homelessness. Social Traders status: Certified. Membership: Connections Membership.

Financial Health

A capacity signal from this charity's latest public ACNC filing — to show where a buyer or funder might offer multi-year or capacity support, not to rank organisations. Not a CivicGraph assessment of the organisation.
