BRITISH SOCIEfY FOR POPULATION STUDIES
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
We present our report and financlal ststements for the year ended 31 December 2024,
Report for 2024
l. Objectives
The Britlsh Society for Population Studles Ss a society of persons who have demonstrated by thelr writings
or otherwise a scientific Interest in the study of human populations, The Society's objectives are to
benefit the publlc by furthering the scientific study of biologlcal, economic, hlstorical, medical, social and
other problems connected with human populatlons, and to contribute to public awareness of these
problems. BSPS members work In academia, loca5 and ￿ntral government, and industry and include
P05tgraduate students of demography and populatlon studies.
Benefits of membership include flrst-call invitatlons to BSPS and other meetlngs, a Newsletter and
clrculations of time-dated materlal, a redU￿d reglstratlon fee to the annual BSPS confe￿nce (when held
physically), and a redu￿d-rate personal 5ubscriptlon to the Journal, Population Studies. Members are
invlted to participate In BSP5 consultations and nettNorks with academic and government research. The
Society maintsin5 a website at htt
www.bs
.or
s. It Is anticipated that BSPS, pursuit of its
objertives and aim5, wlll continue its programme of occasional day meetings and annual conferences and
continue to provide travel and meetlng grants to enable members to attend its events as well as relevant
meetlngs organized by others.
2. Grant making policy
The Society alms to use Surplus Income from the prevlous year to fund meetings, travel grants to
members, bursarles to the annual conference for student members, and to fund the annual Low- and
Middle-Income countrie5 inltlative. Surplus income derives principally from the previous year's annual
conference, where avallable.
3. InvestmenL reserves and rlsk management policy
The Society maintalns reserves to meet any future deflclts on its actlvltles, any outstanding commltments
should the sC￿lety be wound up, the liablllty ensuing if the usual annual conference were to be cancelled
at short notice, and the likely costs of the Secretariat Should the PIC withdraw Its support, Therefore, the
trustees consider that an appropriate level of reseNe5 should cover appropriate charitable expendlture
for one year.
Free reseryes Stand at £138,854 at 31 December 2024, although it should be noted that £19,144 (£18,721
at 31 December 2023), Is held in COIF shares, whose value can be expected to fluctuate (original cost
£io,0001. It 15 anticipated that the excess over the requlred amount wlll be expended In future years, in
furtheran￿ of the Society's charitsble artlvlties.
A substantial part of the Society's reserves, £59, 183 (£55,787 at 31 December 2023), are held In a COIF
deposit account, which is not protected by any flnancial compensation scheme, However, the trustees
believe it unlikely that the UK Government would let charities suffer the consequences of the fallure of a
Charity Commisslon-approved dety)slt scheme such as COIF. It ha5 also been noted that common deposlt
funds spread thelr Investments between a number of banks, so it is unllkely that all deposits would be
lost In the event of a slngle bank failure, The trustees closely monitor both the COIF shares and the COIF
deposlt account to protect the finances of the Society.
4. Revlew of finandal transactions
The flnanclal ststements summarlse the Socletys transactlons durlng 2024. Stsff of the Populatlon
Investigation CommSttee (PIC) carried out the general admSnistrative work, accounting and bookkeeping
functlons, maintenance of the website, and admlnistration of the conference at cost. With the unrealized

gain on the COIF shareholding of £423 taken into account, the amount held in the General Fund Increased
by £19,944 in the year, after the surplus on the 2024 conferen￿ Account was transferred (Note 16).
Council Expenses amounted to £14, cons15tSng of relmbursement for the prize in the BSPS Pub Quiz.
Expendlture on day meetings was modest, with support glven for one meeting in June. Membership
Subscriptions income was Stable, with the increase In headllne Pri￿ offset by a reduced rate for 2024
designed to In￿ntiv5Ze adoptlon of dlrect debit payments, There was a surplus of £14,123 on the
Conference and a surplus of £5,428 in general income and expenditure. The Balan￿ of the General Fund
at the end of 2024 was £138,854 (See Note 16).
5. Funds
a) The Soclety's funds derive from members, subscriptlons, from Investment Income, from the PIC grant
to B5PS and from any surpluses on the annual conferen￿. Apart from grants for specific purposes,
all fund5 are unre5trlcted. Conferences are intended to be self-financlng, although Councll may
ch005e to support e.g. student bursaries èt a deficit supported by the General Fund. Similarlyi when
any surplus remains, this is added to the General Fund.
b) Membershlp of the Soclety.. For 2024 Councll took the decision to increase membershlp rates from
£25 to £30 for full membershipi £7,50 to £15 for reduced memberships, and to cease to offer a
separate 'country' membership owing to the Increaslng popularity of online or hybrld events. This
followed many years of holding membershlp fees at the same level. Membership subscrlption rates
are per calendar year, as follows:
Full membership
