THE THORNEY ISLAND SOCIETY 

We are a local conservation and amenity group founded in 1985 to protect and represent the interests of residents and businesses in the "village" of ancient Westminster (originally "Thorney Island"). In 1994 the society adopted the activities of the Friends of St James's Park and The Green Park. We maintain a large archive collection of documents and memorabilia, and arrange social activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 recently
