THE THOMAS BRASSEY SOCIETY 

Our aim is to raise awareness and educate the public about the life and works of Thomas Brassey - the World's most prolific builder of railways in the 19th Century, but still relatively unknown. We do this by giving talks and lectures, distributing literature, attending public exhibitions, maintaining a publicly available web-site, and erecting information panels and plaques at key locations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

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 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
