Funding & Disclosures

Funding and Operations

We are funded by individual supporters like you, charitable trusts, and other contributors. Our operational costs are primarily focused on compensating our dedicated staff and covering essential expenses, such as office space and general overheads like equipment, internet, and accounting. Being based in London allows us to connect with key stakeholders in the government and media without incurring excessive travel costs. We deeply appreciate everyone who donates and helps make our work possible.

Commitment to Neutrality

Maintaining neutrality is central to everything we do. We have rigorous policies and procedures in place, designed with guidance from experts and following examples from respected organizations. These include a cross-party advisory board, strict fundraising protocols, conflict of interest policies, and restrictions on political activity for staff. We also conduct regular external reviews to ensure our standards remain robust. Most crucially, we recruit staff who are highly aware of the importance of impartiality.

Our audience plays a vital role in holding us accountable. We encourage you to review our fact-checks and overall work, with all sources readily available for you to verify the information yourself.
