WIGAN STREET PASTORS 

We are a group of Christians from the Borough of Wigan who as Wigan Street Pastors form part of the Urban Trinity (Church, Police and Local Government) patroling our Town Centre on specific evenings to Listen, Care and Help visitors to the Town to help make it a safer place
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently
