The Society operates a small Grants Scheme, through which individuals can obtain funds (up to £1,000 per year, maximum award of £2,500 over 3 years) to undertake specific projects that are clearly in accordance with the aims of the Society. The Society is not proscriptive as to the nature of the project; it will consider projects of any type where the underlying aim is to advance the study, diffusion or acquisition of knowledge or skills by individuals or communities.
