HARROGATE AND KNARESBOROUGH DISTRICT OF SANCTUARY

Our aims are to help refugees and asylum seekers who come to live in the Harrogate and Knaresborough district by offering friendship, practical support and educational experiences. We strive to raise awareness about the issues faced by refugees, and we also campaign for a humane asylum system by lobbying local and national politicians.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been 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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
