MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE STREET PASTORS 

Trained volunteers from local churches listening, helping and caring for the well-being of people participating in the 'night-time economy' late on weekend nights on the streets of Manchester City Centre, in full cooperation with the Police.
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

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
  • 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
