What this funder supports

Based on the register classifications and operating areas of the grant recipients we could match to the charity register (a subset of all grantees).

  • Throughout England And Wales (1 grantee)

What changed: FY2023 → FY2024

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings that have counted grants (unverified reads are left out, so a filing whose grants are all unverified is skipped). A grantee “dropped” may simply have received a multi-year grant earlier.

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 (no individually listed grants). 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.
