Significant events
- “During 2024/25, our focus has been to build on strengthening our core fundraising activities as we continue to explore additional avenues for growth and development. Following the success of our 2023 acquisition activity to recruit new regular giving donors, we invested in a second campaign in order to secure predictable and sustainable income.”
- “A key fundraising highlight is our flagship fundraising event, the London Marathon. The London Marathon 2024 generated income of over £1 million, the first fundraising milestone of its kind in our history.”
- “We continued to deliver our research strategy. This year, we awarded research grants of £1.7 million, which included £1.1 million to four new project grants as well as two new Post-Doctoral Fellowships, an investment of £570,000.”
- “We were thrilled to be chosen by Acrisure London as their Charity of the Year 2025 in memory of their colleague Ian. Tragically, Ian suffered a fatal brain aneurysm in April 2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
