LOUGHBOROUGH TOWN OF SANCTUARY 

We support asylum seekers and refugees who have to report to the Home Office Reporting Centre in Loughborough. We offer words of welcome and support. We also give out vouchers which can be used at a local community cafe and in the winter we give out hats, gloves and scarves. During the school holidays we provide small gifts for children who accompany their parents.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • All of 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 6 years
