We want you to have confidence in us that we’re spending your money wisely. That’s why we’re committed to being open and honest about how we're funded and managed.

OUR TOTAL INCOME

Our total income for 2021/22 was £5.71 million.  This was raised through:

Donations and Legacies (£4.28 million) - This is money raised by regular monthly donations, corporate partners,  fundraisers in their local communities, trusts, major donors and gifts left to us in wills

Events (£1.356m) - This is money raised from event fees and generated by people raising sponsorship for taking part in events organised directly by us (such as our abseil) and those organised by third parties (such as the London Marathon)

Investments (£142,000) - This is income from interest received on reserves and other investments

How do we calculate the figure?

This calculation shows the proportion of supporters’ donations which go towards the charity’s work and what goes towards fundraising for the future. 

Across the charity sector, there is no uniform method used to report on this figure. We take a five-year average to produce this information; a method which allows us to account for in-year activities which may produce anomalous results. An example of this is a campaign like the Big Sleuth, which produced good results for us in terms of income and added considerable value in non-financial areas such as brand awareness, but also came at a higher cost than our usual fundraising activities.   

We believe this five-year method gives the most accurate picture of the proportion of the money we received which we spend on raising income.

Fundraising Income 

Over the past five financial years (2017/18 – 2021/22) total income from fundraising (this is the total charity income excluding income from investments) was £30.69 million.

Costs to raise funds 

Over the same period, we spent £10.78 million on raising this income.
