5 April 2025	£115,333	£2,223	Not reported	3

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.

Financial position

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.

Spending against income: It spent 2% of its income in the year to 5 April 2025.

From the annual returns the charity filed with the Charity Commission. The largest funder comes from its accounts, read by AI.

Government funding, as the charity reported it

Government grants in the year ending 5 April 2025: £107,291 from 1 grant. Government contracts: Not reported.

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.

Grants awarded to it, published on 360Giving

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

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.

Payments from public bodies, from their spending data

Public bodies' published spending shows 4 payments to this charity worth £214,632 between 31 October 2024 and 9 December 2025.

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.
