THE SOCIAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION

Promoting high quality standards of social research, we seek to represent, support, connect and inform our members and the wider social research community. We do this with a range of events, workshops for the general public and practicing social researchers, training, and freely-available publications. Our website provides a wide range of information.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
