Where the money comes from (2024)
Public funds 12% (£32,000) · Other income 88%
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.

Spending on declared projects (IATI)
Only the projects the organisation publishes on IATI: usually a fraction of its total spending (median 14% in our checks).
Data to be checked. Some figures on this page show inconsistencies, almost always due to filing or transcription errors in the source:
- 2022, 2023: the source reports almost no spending on activities, probably recorded under another heading; the share spent on the mission is not shown.
- 2025: income or expenditure changes more than tenfold from the previous year. It may be real growth or an error in the source; the value remains visible.
