The claim that "Hope Not Hate received payments from Hope Unlimited" is factually accurate and supported by multiple independent sources. **Key evidence:** 1. **Charity Commission register**: The official Charity Commission register for HOPE Unlimited Charitable Trust (Charity Number 1013880) shows that in the financial year ending 31 December 2024, the charity recorded £787,860 in "Expenditure – Grants institution," representing grants made to other organisations. The charity's primary purpose is described as "grant making." 2. **Multiple news outlets confirm the recipient**: Several outlets, including Civil Society, Third Sector, Wigan Today, and Guido Fawkes, report that Hope Not Hate Limited received grants from HUCT totalling approximately £788,000 in 2024. Civil Society states: "Hope Not Hate Limited's accounts show that it received grants totalling £788,000 from HUCT 'to carry out their assignments.'" Wigan Today confirms: "Hope Unlimited Charitable Trust, formerly known as Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust, gave Hope Not Hate Limited a grant of £787,858 during 2024." 3. **Government statement**: The Charity Commission's own gov.uk statement discusses the relationship between HOPE Unlimited and Hope Not Hate Limited, noting that the regulator expects trustees to "manage the relationship between HOPE Unlimited and Hope Not Hate Limited" and that grants must be applied "fairly and consistently." While Hope Not Hate's spokesperson has disputed the characterisation that it is funded "almost entirely" by HUCT grants — stating it is "supporter-funded" — the basic fact that payments (grants) flowed from Hope Unlimited to Hope Not Hate Limited is not in dispute.
