reconciliation not assessedextracted from its FY2025 accounts

FY2022: all 32 listed grants are unverified reads (£14.1m in total) and are excluded from totals and counts (the grant list adds up to far more (or far less) than this charity’s own reported spending and income for the year, so the list is set aside for checking (often a misread; sometimes multi-year awards or a register figure that is itself wrong)).

Credited as a funder by

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals. Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
