listed grants reconcile with the accounts totalextracted from its FY2025 accounts

FY2021: 5 grants totalling £36k are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (grantee names (or the pattern of amounts) not found in the accounts text; the amount is not printed in the accounts text).

Cross-checked against the funder’s own 360Giving open-data publication: 24 of 30 grants we extracted from its FY2025 accounts match a published grantee by name (80%), and 23 also match on amount within 2%. Differences usually reflect accounting-year vs award-date timing and grants the accounts aggregate. Published 360Giving grants in the file: 126.

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 (listed sum 656179 vs reference 654933 (0.2% diff; ref=stated)). 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.
