† This figure is contradicted by the charity's own return — a reserves total above its total funds, an income block filed in thousands beside spending in pounds, or a headline register figure that disagrees with the charity's detailed return for the same year while the previous year's return agrees with the detailed figure. It is reproduced exactly as filed; treat it as unreliable and check the filed accounts on the register.
