The Royal Meteorological Society is a registered charity and hence relies upon member subscriptions and donations to carry out its charitable work. Throughout the last few years the Society has been able, through this revenue, to attend a number of science fairs such as Techfest, the Big Bang and the Cheltenham Science Fair to open up the field of meteorology to a younger generation. Furthermore, the Society has joined with the Royal Geographical Society and the British Council to establish Climate 4 Classrooms which delivers teaching resources throughout Indonesia, Mexico, China and the UK. The Society is also able to offer guidance to the Government on important meteorological based policy decisions as well as providing independent comment to the media on relevant issues.
