ST LUKE'S COMMUNITY AND REGENERATION ENTERPRISES 

We invest in young people, to provide safe places to be, resilience as they grow up, and opportunities to thrive. We aim to address local issues, responding to young people struggling in school, becoming caught up in anti-social behaviour and petty crime and even those at risk of exploitation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 21 years
