The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 30 September 2025, it had income of £95,638 and spent £226,886.

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 57%, from £223,314 in the year to 31 March 2021 to £95,638 in the year to 30 September 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 237% of its income in the year to 30 September 2025. It spent more than its income in 2 of the 5 years shown.

Money from government

95% of its income in the year to 30 September 2025 came from government grants and contracts (£90,859).

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 September 2025: £4,359 from 1 grant. Government contracts: £86,500 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 2 grants to this charity since 2011, worth at least £267,901.

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 7 payments to this charity worth £48,671 between 6 January 2022 and 23 September 2024.

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.
