FY2023: 5 grants totalling £29k are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (a second reading of the page gave a different amount; this is the previous year’s figure repeated in these accounts (comparative column), so it is already counted in that year).

19 listed grants have no usable amount in the accounts (shown as “amount not stated”); they are left out of the grant counts and totals.

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.
