Caerphilly People First

Caerphilly People First is a self advocacy organisation run by and for people with learning disabilities. We have over 100 members and hold regular meetings with them which gives them a chance to express their views and to get the message across that they can think for themselves and should be allowed to make their own decisons.

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 15 grants to this charity since 2011, worth at least £248,627.

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.
