THE BOOKPLATE SOCIETY

The Society promotes the study and creation of British bookplates (ex-libris) through its journal, newsletter, books, occasional exhibitions and its website including listing artists willing to accept commissions. It also supports interest in the fields of graphic and book art, bibliography, heraldry and family history, and provides information about, and helps identify, British bookplates.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
