The accounts to March 2021, which cover a period of 18 months, show that the charity received £1,249,363 in grants from public bodies. This is a near-67 per cent increase on the £748,295 they received in their previous accounts, which covered 12 months from to September 2019.

Taxpayer-funded bodies accounted for more than 52 per cent of the total grants. The Foreign Office’s contribution of £765,061 was more than five times the £145,075 that the department provided the year before.

In a recent answer to a Parliamentary question, Wendy Morton, a foreign minister at the time, said that the department had given funding for projects including co-chairing the Equal Rights Coalition, the Commonwealth Equality Project and for “Defending the rights of LGBT people in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus”.

The Welsh and Scottish Governments also handed over hundreds of thousands of pounds, whilst NHS Scotland provided a grant of almost £50,000.

The Government Equalities Office, also headed by Ms Truss, began funding Stonewall in the 18 months to March 31 2021, giving the organisation £50,393.

On top of the grants, the charity also received £616,225 from the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

The Department for Education did not provide any grants in the 18 months, despite providing almost £300,000 the year before.

The embattled charity has had a string of high-profile exits from its controversial Diversity Champions scheme in the past year.
