YORK SAMARITANS

The objects of the charity are to work for the assistance of persons who are suicidal, despairing or in distress by providing a service to enable such persons to receive immediate help and compassion from members of the charity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

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
