THE INCORPORATED SOCIETY FOR PSYCHICAL RESEARCH 

Publication of informative journals. Operation of lending and reading library. Holding of lectures and conferences. Provision of education and advice. Award of grants in aid of research.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are 24 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
