What this means
Trustee responsibility and public accountability
The Society is governed by six trustees, who volunteer their time and hold legal responsibility for the charity’s direction, its financial management, and the accuracy of what it says publicly. Trustees are required to act in the charity’s best interests, within its charitable purposes, and to avoid conflicts of interest.
Accurate public reporting matters because it is how a small charity like ours remains accountable to the people it exists to serve, and to the regulator that oversees charities in England and Wales. Our reporting is currently up to date and was received on time, which is itself part of that accountability.
The figures shown above relate specifically to the financial year ending 31 March 2025, as published in our official record. Charity finances can change from year to year, and the Charity Commission’s own register is always the authoritative, current source for our official information — more current than anything summarised here.
Where information is described above as not currently available, that reflects what is present in our official published record at the time this page was last reviewed, rather than a statement that no such activity or payment exists.
