Overview

England and Wales has 83,776 registered charities working on education and training on the current register extract, of which 75,245 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported £72.57bn of income. The median charity took in £30k, while the largest tenth reported £740k or more, so a typical donation goes to a far smaller organisation than the household names at the top of this list.

Income is concentrated: the ten largest charities working on education and training account for 9.1% of the total. Across the whole group, 18,227 charities have a note from the register, such as overdue accounts or three years of spending above income, and those notes are shown on each charity's page.

51,314 of the charities with reported income (68%) took in under £100k a year. Pages for the 51,781 charities with several years of accounts include their full income history, a comparison with similar-sized peers and a breakdown of where the money comes from.
