SWINDON STREET PASTORS

Street Pastors are a group of Christian volunteers from various churches across Swindon. Working independently, but with the full support of the Local Authority and the Police, and working closely with security and door staff of the pubs and clubs, we patrol the Town Centre on Friday and Saturday nights. We are not there to preach, but to show the love of the Lord Jesus and help vulnerable people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Most of the income over the last 3 years has been in the form of Government grants or contracts
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
