HASTINGS STREET PASTORS 

Trained Street Pastors are unpaid volunteers from local churches who offer care & support for individuals, irrespective of race, gender, religion, age or lifestyle in designated public areas within Hastings and Rother. They work with the other local agencies to provide emotional and practical help to members of the public, on Saturday nights and during Community events.
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
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
Established: 12 years
