Tempo develops projects that support the engagement of citizens in the design and delivery of local services. We support local organisations in England and Wales to set up time credit projects that support individuals to give time to their communities, enabling individuals and community organisations to work together to see positive change.

The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 31 March 2026, it had income of £748,903 and spent £694,240.

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

Down 42%, from £1,289,947 in the year to 31 March 2022 to £748,903 in the year to 31 March 2026.

Spending against income

It spent 93% of its income in the year to 31 March 2026. It spent more than its income in 4 of the 5 years shown.

Money from government

58% of its income in the year to 31 March 2026 came from government grants and contracts (£433,936).

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 31 March 2026: £387,202 from 2 grants. Government contracts: £46,734 from 4 contracts.

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.

These figures were read from the accounts the charity filed with the Charity Commission by Claude, an AI model, in OpenEconomy's accounts reader. AI can misread a table, so check the accounts on the register before relying on a figure.

Only funding the accounts name with an amount is included. Most charities also have income from donations, fees and trading that is not listed by funder, so this is part of its income.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 27 grants to this charity since 2009, worth at least £4,433,014.

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.

Public bodies' published spending shows 15 payments to this charity worth £2,258,410 between 8 February 2021 and 13 May 2026.

Councils and Welsh Government publish what they pay suppliers and grant holders above a threshold, usually £500 for councils and £25,000 for Welsh Government, so smaller payments are missing. A payment is shown only when OpenEconomy matched it to this charity with certainty. These figures come from the payer's records. They are a separate measure from the charity's own accounts, 360Giving grants and its annual return, and are never added to them.

  …e, in terms of the three-year sustainable funding. And I think it's interesting. I mean, I've mentioned all the organisations—. We also fund Tempo Time Credits; they're part of this infrastructure. And also Newid, which helps with digital skills for the third sector.

  …. So, they've got a key role to develop that milestone. Just thinking about budget heads for this, you will remember that we give a grant to Tempo Time Credits. We've managed to keep that going, but also we've got the strategic element of Volunteering Wales, which is focusing on that milestone.
