Swansea Community Workshops

Swansea Community Workshops is a collection of fully equipped workshops in central Swansea which provide the opportunity for men and women to do practical projects (wood, metal, plastic,etc), and, at the same time, to acquire skills from other members. The practical projects may be for personal benefit, or making products for sale, or tasks commissioned by outside parties.

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.

In its accounts for the year ending 31 March 2025, the charity named 5 funders who gave £29,004 between them. £27,004 of that came from public bodies.

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 5 grants to this charity since 2017, worth at least £55,330.

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.
