FY2024: 3 grants totalling £593k are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (this is the previous year’s figure repeated in these accounts (comparative column), so it is already counted in that year; grantee names (or the pattern of amounts) not found in the accounts text).

FY2021: 1 grant totalling £100k is listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (grantee names (or the pattern of amounts) not found in the accounts text).

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 45641000 vs reference 33641000 (35.7% 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.
