PaganAid

PaganAid registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 31 July 2014. It is funded entirely by donations from Pagans and run entirely by volunteer trustees, none of whom receives any remuneration, payment or benefit from the charity, a governance structure the charity states plainly of itself rather than one this entry infers.

What PaganAid does with that funding sets it apart from a charity serving its own community exclusively. It gives grants to other trusted organisations working on poverty relief and environmental protection in disadvantaged communities, helping people protect and develop their own livelihoods and their local environment. Though Pagan run and Pagan funded, PaganAid states plainly that the beneficiaries of the projects it funds can be of any faith or none, so long as they want to live in harmony with nature.

That stated scope makes PaganAid an explicitly pan-Pagan charity in its giving rather than one that funds only Pagan beneficiaries, a distinction the charity draws deliberately in its own published description of its mission.

PaganAid's most recent filed accounts, for the year ending 30 June 2025, record total income of 7,093 pounds sterling and total expenditure of 1,625 pounds sterling, figures that confirm the charity operates at a genuinely small scale rather than merely describing itself as modest. The gap between the two, more than 5,400 pounds, suggests either a deliberately cautious granting pace or funds carried forward for future giving; the accounts themselves do not say which.

What that 1,625 pounds funded is spelled out in the charity's own filing: grants to other organisations for poverty relief in disadvantaged communities and for environmental conservation and education, with a geographic focus across England, Wales and Scotland. The charity describes its beneficiaries as the general public regardless of faith, consistent with the pan-Pagan mission stated in its founding description.

With no trustee drawing remuneration and every pound of expenditure going to grants rather than administration, PaganAid's own numbers describe an organization whose small scale is a feature of how it is run, volunteer led and grant focused, rather than a sign of an organization struggling to grow.
