World Vision UK, a British NGO working with children, has seen its income fall sharply after what it described as “brutal” cuts to government funding.
World Vision UK’s income fell from £69.6 million in 2020 to £52.8 million in the fiscal year ending September 2021 — a drop of 24%, according to its annual report and accounts. This also marked the NGO’s lowest income in over a decade.
The accounts show the drop was caused mostly by a reduction in grants from the United Kingdom government and the European Union.
