Its headquarters are a centre for contemporary sculpture on Old Brompton Road in South Kensington, London. It is the oldest and largest organisation dedicated to sculpture in the UK.

The Royal Society of Sculptors is a registered charity with a selective membership of around 700 professional sculptors. It aims to inspire, inform and engage people of all ages and backgrounds with sculpture, and to support sculptors' development of their practice to the highest professional standards.
It began as the Society of British Sculptors in 1905, in its first year it had 51 sculptor members. They received royal patronage in 1911, and were renamed the Royal Society of British Sculptors The Society gained charitable status in recognition of its educational activities in 1963. In 1976, the late sculptor Cecil Thomas donated Dora House, 108 Old Brompton Road which has been its headquarters ever since. In 2003 they renamed again to the Royal British Society of Sculptors in recognition of growing international membership before becoming the Royal Society of Sculptors in 2017.

It is a selective membership-based organisation, whose members elect its governing council. The council meets regularly to review applications and select new members. The current president of the Board is Laura Ford.
There are two types of membership: Members (formerly known as Associates until 2014) and Fellows, who are entitled to use the MRSS and FRSS post-nominal letters. Presidents of the society are entitled to use the post-nominal letters PRSS and Vice Presidents VPRSS.
Formerly FIRST@108: Public Art Award, the First Plinth is a biennial £10,000 award to contribute towards the production costs of producing a large-scale sculpture, thereby offering competing sculptors the opportunity to extend their practice into competing for public art commissions. Open to any artist working in three dimensions. The award is supported by the Mirisch & Lebenheim Charitable Foundation. The current winner of the First Plinth: Public Art Award 2021 is Polly Morgan.
