THE JOURNAL OF MORAL EDUCATION
The development and support of research and educational activities focused on moral education and citizenship education. Primarily this is focused on the quarterly publication of an academic journal. More recently we have been engaged in supporting Moral Education/Development/Civic education groups and Associations in Developing regions/countries.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £572,915, which the trustees consider sufficient to publish four further issues of the journal in the event of a sudden drop in income. The charity reported an operating surplus for the year, with total incoming resources of £127,173 against total resources expended of £112,490. The filing was subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit, with the examiner reporting no matters of concern regarding compliance or accounting records.
