The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 31 March 2025, it had income of £277,867 and spent £318,830.

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 16%, from £239,419 in the year to 31 March 2021 to £277,867 in the year to 31 March 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 115% of its income in the year to 31 March 2025. It spent more than its income in 2 of the 5 years shown.

Money from government

95% of its income in the year to 31 March 2025 came from government grants and contracts (£262,620).

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 31 March 2025: £247,620 from 4 grants. Government contracts: £15,000 from 1 contract.

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.

These figures were read from the accounts the charity filed with the Charity Commission by Claude, an AI model, in OpenEconomy's accounts reader. AI can misread a table, so check the accounts on the register before relying on a figure.

Only funding the accounts name with an amount is included. Most charities also have income from donations, fees and trading that is not listed by funder, so this is part of its income.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 17 grants to this charity since 2013, worth at least £547,294.

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.
