The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 5 April 2025, it had income of £203,308 and spent £229,755.

Figures as the charity reported them to the Charity Commission. Staff and volunteer numbers are only asked of charities with income over £10,000. A year with no row was not reported.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

Income over time

Up 52%, from £133,643 in the year to 5 April 2021 to £203,308 in the year to 5 April 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 113% of its income in the year to 5 April 2025. It spent more than its income in 2 of the 5 years shown.

Money from government

72% of its income in the year to 5 April 2023 came from government grants and contracts (£81,493).

From the annual returns the charity filed with the Charity Commission. The largest funder comes from its accounts, read by AI.

Government grants in the year ending 5 April 2025: Not reported. Government contracts: £79,672 from 3 contracts.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 3 grants to this charity since 2005, worth at least £48,000.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

8 trustees run the charity.
