Governance & transparency

The Foundation's trustees are listed on the public Register of Charities, which is maintained by the Charity Commission and updated as trustee appointments change. The register entry is the authoritative source and can be viewed at any time.

Grant applications are considered by the trustees having regard to the Foundation's charitable objects, available resources, public benefit, due diligence and the merits of each application. Approvals record the amount, purpose, any restrictions on use and the monitoring required.

Trustees declare any interest in an applicant or proposal. A conflicted trustee does not participate in the decision on that application, and the declaration and its management are recorded in the Foundation's records.

The trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance in carrying out the Foundation's purposes, and consider public benefit as part of every grant decision.

The Foundation files annual accounts and a trustees' annual report with the Charity Commission. Published figures for the most recent year are income £347,167 and expenditure £345,686 for the year ended 30 December 2024.
