THE HISTORICAL METALLURGY SOCIETY LIMITED

We provide a forum for research and exchange of information on all aspects of past metallurgy, in Britain and worldwide. We also aim to promote the understanding and conservation of all aspects of the heritage relevant to metallurgy. Our interests range from prehistory to the present, and from extraction and smelting to all aspects of metalworking and the use of metals in society.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
