What the accounts disclose

Largest income source: A.F Blakemore and Son Limited (100% of income)
“The income of the Foundation comprises donations from A.F Blakemore and Son Limited.”
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document explicitly states 'There were no related party transactions for the year ended 30 April 2025' in Note 8. However, the Trustees' Report and Note 1 identify A.F Blakemore and Son Limited as the sole donor and the entity holding the power to appoint trustees. Under strict extraction rules, no specific transaction amount is disclosed in the related party note, so the flag is empty/null based on the explicit 'no transactions' statement in the disclosure note, though the relationship is clear.
