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

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.
