Social History Curators' Group

The Social History Curators Group (SHCG) exists to advance the education of the public in heritage, science and the arts by advancing standards of social history curatorship. We provide information, support and training to enable those responsible for caring for social history collections to use these collections for the public benefit and work to promote the importance of these collections.

Figures as the charity reported them to the Charity Commission. Staff and volunteer numbers are only asked of charities with income over £10,000. A year with no row was not reported.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

Government grants in the year ending 31 March 2025: Not reported. Government contracts: Not reported.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

12 trustees run the charity.
