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

Up 857%, from £637 in the year to 31 March 2021 to £6,099 in the year to 31 March 2025.

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

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 1 grant to this charity, worth £4,449, awarded in 2000.

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 17 payments to this charity worth £1,648 between 7 September 2021 and 30 January 2026.

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.

7 trustees run the charity.
