Here's how every £1 is spent
We value every gift that you give, and will always put it straight to work as quickly as we can. In 2020-21, 89p of every £1 you gave went directly towards tackling poverty worldwide. 11p was spent on the day-to-day running of the charity and raising the next £1 so that we can help even more people this year.
