Should charities be diverting money from disabled children to rightwing think-tanks?
We don’t think so either. Our latest investigation on dark money in politics has found that the Street Foundation, a disabled children’s charity, has given rightwing pressure groups over 40% of its funds over the last five years.
Diverting money away from disabled children is a new low, but the more we shine a light on these shady practices, the less these shadowy networks will think they can get away with it.
The Street Foundation gets the majority of its funding from HR Smith Group, whose CEO owns the building in Tufton Street where rightwing pressure groups including the New Culture Forum and the Institute of Economic Affairs are based.
In the last five years, the Street Foundation has given a colossal £749,000 to these murky groups, with £250,000 going to the New Culture Forum and £55,000 to the Institute of Economic Affairs.
Every pound you give can help us shine a light on these shady goings-on. Together we can put an end to dark money in politics, and build a fairer, greener future.
Thanks for all your support in the fight against dark money in politics.
