The British Mexican Society (BMS), founded in 1942, is a charity connecting Great Britain to Mexico, celebrating all aspects of Mexican culture.

We aim to foster and promote knowledge and appreciation of Mexico’s cultural and scientific contributions to the world, by presenting a selection of live and virtual events. Every year we raise funds for specific projects with small Mexican charities.
