Where we work

2019-20 financial review

In 2019-20 our income levels reduced, but remain healthy. Most of the decrease is linked to a reduction in income from our ICS contract. The UK's Department for International Development (DFID) - now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) - remained a main income source, although the overall proportion decreased.

Over the past year, we have continued to diversify our income portfolio with the support of other institutional donors, companies, and individuals.

Our total income for the year was £60 million, and our total spend on charitable activities was £56.8 million.
