The BritishSpanish Society is a registered charity aimed at fostering friendship and understanding between the people of Britain and Spain by promoting knowledge of each other's customs, language, history, and way of life. As a non-political organization, it is open to anyone interested in Spain and its culture. The Society hosts cultural events and activities to help members integrate and form friendships. It also awards scholarships and bursaries to British and Spanish post-graduate students annually, supporting research beneficial to both nations.
Founded in 1916 as the Anglo-Spanish League of Friendship during World War I, the Society was created by British academics, students, and businessmen to strengthen cultural and trade relations with Spain, then a neutral country. Over time, it became known as the Anglo-Spanish Society, continuing its mission beyond the war. Despite changing political landscapes, the Society's core values have remained consistent. In 2000, it became a registered charity under UK law, enabling greater financial transparency and efficiency.
Today, the BritishSpanish Society thrives with strong membership and continues to play a significant role in promoting ties between Britain and Spain. Its headquarters are in London, and its Honorary President is the Spanish Ambassador to the UK.
