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.

In its accounts for the year ending 31 March 2025, the charity named 12 funders who gave £320,829 between them. £145,530 of that came from public bodies.

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.
