ALL SAINTS LUTON ASYLUM SEEKER AND REFUGEE SUPPORT PROJECT

We provide practical and emotional support to Asylum Seekers housed in Luton, mainly in local hotels. We do this chiefly though a twice weekly drop in where clothing and toiletries can be accessed and the provision of a social space with refreshments. Advocacy and support is provided by a number of trained volunteers. We work closely with partners including Care4Calais, Red Cross, Discover Islam.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

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 is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
