The Friendly Societies Act 1974 (c. 46) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated enactments related to friendly societies in Great Britain, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
Section 116(4) of the act repealed 23 enactments, listed in schedule 11 to the act.
The act has been amended on several occasions. The Friendly Societies Act 1992 (c. 40) made extensive amendments, introducing a new supervisory framework for friendly societies; these came into force on 1 February 1993. The provisions relating to the Registry of Friendly Societies (sections 1 to 6) were subsequently repealed by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c. 8).
