* The gist of the Aims and Objects is “the promotion of the social, artistic, literary, educational, scientific and other interests that the Dutch and the British have in common” ; the Society is a non-party-poliical non-profit organisation, run by voluntary effort.
Throughout its history it has enjoyed the support of the Royal Families of both the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and has benefited greatly from the support and hospitality of successive Netherlands Ambassadors in London.
