Working within the Worcester Night time economy, to patrol the streets in the City Centre with teams of volunteers offering support in a variety of practical and other means to those in need. To advance personal safety, to offer a sympathetic ear and show a caring practical demonstration of care and Christian love to those the Street Pastors come in contact with.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
