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.

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 1 grant to this charity, worth £25,000, awarded in 2024.

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.

46 trustees run the charity.
