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.

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.
