New and continuing priorities have led us to set a further fundraising target of £25 million while the Society completes its strategic review. We have now raised a total of £8.8 million towards this target with £3.8 million being raised in the last financial year. We are grateful to all those Fellows and Foreign Members who have continued to support the Society.
