THE BRITISH EPIGRAPHY SOCIETY 

The BES promotes the study of inscriptions, texts, and historical documents in Greek, Latin, and other languages in the British Isles. We hold seminar meetings twice yearly on epigraphic themes, and regularly organise workshops on the practical study of inscriptions. We keep in touch via newsletters and e-mail alerts, and offer bursaries to student members to attend epigraphic meetings, etc.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
