Recipient	Year	Amount	Purpose
RSPCA Cat Rehoming Hub	FY2024	Unverified read£1.0m	Financial support for Cat Hub
Pets Foundation	FY2024	£10k	Grant awarded (Note: This appears to be income/received by the Cat Hub, not a grant paid out by the Branch. However, the prompt asks for grants MADE BY this charity. The text says 'A grant of £10,000 awarded by Pets Foundation was used to pay vet fees'. This is income. I will exclude this as it is not a grant paid BY the charity.

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.
