Human rights and equality: charities in England and Wales

Overview

England and Wales has 7,178 registered charities working on human rights and equality on the current register extract, of which 6,022 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported £5.30bn of income. The median charity took in £59k, while the largest tenth reported £829k 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 human rights and equality account for 35% of the total. Across the whole group, 1,686 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.

3,560 of the charities with reported income (59%) took in under £100k a year. Pages for the 4,464 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.
