THE CONSTITUTION SOCIETY

The Constitution Society is an independent, non-aligned educational trust. We promote public understanding of the British Constitution and work to encourage informed debate between legislators, academics and the public about proposals for constitutional change. We do not take any position on the merits of specific reform proposals and have no connection with any political party.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
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
The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
