Directors Report

This year we are pleased that our expenditure has matched pre-pandemic levels with donations of almost £90 million.

Covid-19, global conflict, climate crisis and rise in inflation all contributed to a backdrop of continuous change which creates a range of ongoing challenges across the voluntary sector.

As charities continue to adapt, the Trustees have maintained their commitment to openness and flexibility, supporting a wide range of charities with a breadth of funding including unrestricted and multi-year grants that help organisations plan for the future.
