Open records
Every figure, on the record.
Nothing about this project lives behind a login — least of all the money. Records are published in full, as downloadable documents, alongside a plain summary.
Worked example — not accounts
No reporting period has closed yet. The figures below show the format GUP will publish in, so you can see exactly what will be reported and how. They are illustrative, and every one of them will be replaced by audited figures when the first period ends.
Where the money comes from, and where it goes.
A full reporting year. Bar widths are the real share of each total — the picture and the table are the same data.

The records themselves.
Every document GUP has committed to publishing is listed here, including the ones that do not exist yet — so a missing year is never left to interpretation.

Half-year summary
A short interim statement so a full year never passes without a public figure.

GUP UK chapter statement
What the UK chapter raised and spent on its own, separated from the wider network.
ScheduledAlongside the first annual accounts
The founding document is already public — the principles these records are kept against are published in full, and have been from the start.
What we commit to.
Published in full, not in summary
The underlying accounts go up as PDFs, not just the headline figures. A summary you cannot check is a claim, not a record.
Administration reported separately
What it costs to run the organisation is never folded into programme spending. It is a line of its own so it can be judged on its own.
Housing profit capped at 1%
The housing model caps project profit at one per cent — a ceiling, not a target. Records show the figure against that cap.
