Sef Cymru

SEF CYMRU is a charity that seeks to address educational underachievement and improve community cohesion and social integration through various activities e.g. study clubs for children and courses such as ESOL, IT and sewing classes for women. We also run advice and information sessions for women to enable them to access services.

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 6 grants to this charity since 2012, worth at least £340,489.

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.
