Where the money comes from (2022)

Public funds 0% · Other income 100%

Public funds: grants and contracts from government bodies as declared to the Charity Commission. Other income includes donations, legacies, trading and investments. Many organisations record funds from UN agencies and the European Union as income from charitable activities: in that case the public share is underestimated.
