98 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.
