What this funder supports

Based on the register classifications and operating areas of the grant recipients we could match to the charity register (a subset of all grantees).

Where grantees operate
  • Kent (2 grantees)
  • Medway (2 grantees)
  • Devon (1 grantee)

What changed: FY2023 → FY2025

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings that have counted grants (unverified reads are left out, so a filing whose grants are all unverified is skipped). A grantee “dropped” may simply have received a multi-year grant earlier.

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 303993 vs reference 303993 (0.0% 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.
