Welcome
to Friends of Classics Friends of Classics (FoC) is the society
for anyone who is fascinated by the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
If you have some knowledge of the
classical civilisations - however residual, from however many years ago
- and, above all, if you wish to see classical subjects - Latin, Greek,
classical civilisation and ancient history - flourishing in our schools,
then Friends of Classics is for you.
FoC has two main functions:
Raising money to encourage the study of the ancient
world and its languages in schools
Arranging activities for Friends to enjoy.
This
web-site explains what Friends of Classics does, how it works
and how to join; provides updates
on classical topics current in the media; describes procedures for schools
to apply for grants; and much more.
Friends of Classics is a registered
charity: No 1015932
