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 77000 vs reference 111191 (30.7% 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.
