SALISBURY STREET PASTORS

We patrol the streets of Salisbury on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 4am, providing a friendly and reassuring presence. We comfort people who are upset and calm aggressive situations. We give directions, do basic first aid, remove bottles and broken glass. We help drunk people find a way home safely. We are regularly called in to help by police, CCTV operators and door staff.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
