Based in the poet's birthplace and home of 23 years, 5 Cwmdonkin Drive in the Uplands of Swansea, the main aim of the Society is to foster serious interest in the life and works of Dylan Thomas and actively engage with schools and community groups across the globe as well as hosting a range of exclusive events for its members in the UK.

In addition to its regular programme of events – both literary and social – the Society has produced several publications and recordings, has established worldwide links (including performances of Under Milk Wood in New York and Vancouver) and has invited a number of well-known writers, actors, academics and poets to speak at its annual Birthday Dinner, held in Swansea every October.
