The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 30 April 2025, it had income of £275,890 and spent £276,067.

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 63%, from £169,035 in the year to 30 April 2021 to £275,890 in the year to 30 April 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 100% of its income in the year to 30 April 2025. It spent more than its income in 3 of the 5 years shown.

Money from government

57% of its income in the year to 30 April 2025 came from government grants and contracts (£156,068).

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 30 April 2025: £13,100 from 2 grants. Government contracts: £142,968 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.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 19 grants to this charity since 2004, worth at least £283,314.

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.

5 trustees run the charity.

Trustees are responsible in law for the charity. Names are as they appear on the public register.

Of the last 5 annual returns that were due, 5 arrived by the deadline.

Charities with income over £10,000 send an annual return within 10 months of their year end, and those over £25,000 also send their accounts. Smaller charities only update their income and spending on the register. The dates are when the Commission received each document.
