What the accounts disclose
Largest income source: donations and events
“This year £32,201 income was made through fundraising activities throughout the year. This includes £8,592 received through student sponsorship (similar to the previous year), £19,687 from donations and events (a large increase on the previous year).” — page 1
Per its FY2026 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: Umoja Tanzania is a registered Tanzanian charity to which grants were made; the document does not explicitly state a related-party relationship or transaction amount in the context of related party disclosures, but it is a connected entity. However, rule 6 requires disclosed related-party transactions. The text says 'grants to Umoja Tanzania'. It does not explicitly label it as a related party transaction in the accounting sense, but it is a grant to a foreign charity. Given the strict rule 'NEVER guess', and no explicit 'related party' label or amount breakdown for a related party, I will leave this empty unless 'Umoja Tanzania' is explicitly defined as related. The text says 'a registered Tanzanian charity'. It does not say 'related party'. So related_party_flags is empty.
“This year the Charity has made grants to Umoja Tanzania (a registered Tanzanian charity) totalling £18,065. This was spent on the running costs of the Umoja Centre, including paying staff salaries, centre rent, infrastructure, meals, education materials and school fees. This is a significant increase on the grants made to Umoja Tanzania the previous year due to the increase in donations received and the grant.” — page 1
