THE FRIENDS OF THORNTON

The objects of the Charity are to advance the education of children and young persons attending Thornton College, in particular by providing and assisting with the provision of books, equipment, buildings and other items and facilities at the College which would not otherwise be provided.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly female
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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
