Yes we can!

JuliaM asks: Can we stop calling them 'charities' now?.

If you enjoy a nice bit of fakecharity porn, check out Disability Essex' 2009 accounts. 94% of its 'Voluntary Income' (Note 2, page 16) is grants from the following:

Capacity Builders* £102,261
Essex County Council £62,353
The Big Lottery £51,165
NHS SW Essex £7,471
Southend on Sea Borough Council £5,000
Lloyds TSB Foundation £3,052
Fowler, Smith and Jones £3,000
Essex Community Foundation £2,000

* From their overview: "Capacitybuilders and its main programmes are funded by the Office of the Third Sector, part of the Cabinet Office."
