Founded in 1834, we are one of the world’s leading organisations advocating for the importance of statistics and data. We’re a professional body for all statisticians and data analysts – wherever they may live.

We have more than 10,000 members in the UK and across the world. As a charity, we advocate for the key role of statistics and data in society, and work to ensure that policy formulation and decision making are informed by evidence for the public good.
