JESMOND STREET PASTORS 

Street Pastors is an initiative of Ascension Trust and pioneered in London in 2003. There are now over 11,000 street pastors in 270 locations around the UK. Jesmond Street Pastors engage with people on the streets to care for them, listen to them and help them, working with other partners in the night-time economy to make communities safer. We currently patrol on Friday evenings from 1930-midnight
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
