Throughout 2020 our aim has been to further our primary objective of promoting the teachings of the pre-Socratics to a far broader and more diverse audience than has hitherto been possible.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Following the publication of Peter Kingsley’s ground-breaking two-volume work ‘Catafalque’, the preservation of Dr Kingsley’s legacy has been one of our highest priorities. In addition to the production of various audio and video recordings centring on the legacy of the pre-Socratics, Dr Kingsley is also working on two further books. Additionally, a team continues to work on transcribing past lectures and workshops with a view to creating an extra series of books and booklets for distribution both to college students and to members of the wider public.
