THE BATTERSEA SOCIETY 

Our Society embraces Battersea as a great place to live and work. We celebrate Battersea's past, support its present and promote its future. We run a programme of walks, talks, social events, visits and exhibitions and our rebranded website includes an online shop selling Battersea-themed publications and wares. We publish a quarterly journal and a monthly e-newsletter.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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

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
