Where the money comes from (2022)
Public funds 3% (£28,824) · Other income 97%
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.

|---|---|---|
| 2014 | €98,217 | €98,217 |
Amounts committed each year by the European Commission to the organisation (contracts and grants), from the EU Financial Transparency System. A commitment often covers several project years and, in consortia, may include shares of other partners. They are not income for the year and should not be compared directly with the accounts.
Public funds from donor governments
Payments by donor in the last 5 years
| Donor | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|
| FCDO (United Kingdom) | €71,560 | €144,411 | €24,699 |
Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.
Spending on declared projects (IATI)
