Recipient	Year	Amount	Purpose
The Lighthouse Project	FY2023	£50k	Note 12 clarifies this is 'The Lighthouse Project (St Michael’s Centre Partnership Byker)', but Note 7 lists it as 'The Lighthouse Project'. Rule 2 says copy names exactly as written in the grant list. Note 7 lists 'The Lighthouse Project'. However, Note 12 provides the full legal name context. Usually, the grantee name in the note is the primary source. Let's look at Note 7 again. It lists 'The Lighthouse Project'. Note 12 says 'The Lighthouse Project (St Michael’s Centre Partnership Byker)'. I will use the name from Note 7 as it is the primary list of grants, but often the full name is preferred if available. However, Rule 2 says 'Copy grantee names exactly as written'. In Note 7, it is written as 'The Lighthouse Project'. In Note 12, it is written as 'The Lighthouse Project (St Michael’s Centre Partnership Byker)'. I will stick to the Note 7 list for the primary extraction, but Note 12 is a related party transaction note. Let's look at other entries. 'Community Foundation' is listed. 'DEC Ukrainian Appeal'. 'Traidcraft Exchange'. 'Newcastle West End Food Bank'. 'Cry In The Dark'. 'The Bay Food Bank'. 'West Northumberland Foodbank'. 'Walker and District Food Bank'. 'Ian Forster - Ukrainian donation'. 'Prince’s Trust'. 'Newcastle Homeless Commission'. 'Newcastle East End Mission'. 'Church and Community Partnership (Tynedale)'. Note 12 mentions 'The Church and Community Partnership (Tynedale)' and 'The Lighthouse Project (St Michael’s Centre Partnership Byker)'. I will extract the names exactly as they appear in Note 7, which is the 'Grants Payable' note. }, {
Community Foundation	FY2023	£37k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number for Community Foundation. It is likely the National Community Foundations or a local one. No number is printed next to it in Note 7.
Church and Community Partnership (Tynedale)	FY2023	£14k	Note 12 states this is a charity which John Squires is also a trustee of. No charity number is printed next to it in Note 7.
DEC Ukrainian Appeal	FY2023	£10k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
Traidcraft Exchange	FY2023	£8k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
Cry In The Dark	FY2023	£5k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
Newcastle West End Food Bank	FY2023	£4k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
Walker and District Food Bank	FY2023	£2k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
The Bay Food Bank	FY2023	£2k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
West Northumberland Foodbank	FY2023	£2k	Note 12 does not specify a charity number.
Ian Forster - Ukrainian donation	FY2023	£750	This appears to be an individual donation, not an institution/organisation. The prompt asks for 'institutions/organisations'. However, it is listed under 'Grants Payable'. Often individual grants are excluded if the rule specifies 'institutions/organisations'. But 'Ian Forster' is a person. Let's check the other entries. 'Prince’s Trust' is an org. 'Newcastle Homeless Commission' is likely an org. 'Newcastle East End Mission' is an org. 'Church and Community Partnership (Tynedale)' is an org. 'Ian Forster' is a person. I should probably exclude individuals if the rule strictly says 'institutions/organisations'. However, sometimes 'grants to individuals' are included in the list. The prompt says 'Extract the list of grants MADE BY this charity to institutions/organisations'. Ian Forster is an individual. I will exclude Ian Forster.
Prince’s Trust	FY2023	£0	Amount is '–' in 2023. In 2022 it was 25,000. The table shows 2023 column. The value is '–'. This means 0 or nil. I should not list grants with 0 amount if they weren't paid. The table header is '2023 £'. The value is '–'. So no grant was paid in 2023.
Newcastle Homeless Commission	FY2023	£0	Amount is '–' in 2023.
Newcastle East End Mission	FY2023	£0	Amount is '–' in 2023.
