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.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 2 grants to this charity since 2013, worth at least £194,434.

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.
