SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF HELLENIC STUDIES
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a surplus of £57k for the year, driven by net gains on its investment portfolio. The trustees report that free reserves were £1,316,878, noting that unrestricted income is projected to be insufficient to cover planned costs in the long term, making the Society dependent on legacies and donations. The trustees concluded that the Society has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
