Grant misspend, misuse and fraud

Our approach to grant misspend, misuse and fraud

Buttle conducts its business in a legal and ethical manner, expecting the highest standards of honesty and integrity among its staff, trustees, applicants, and grant recipients. We are committed to preventing fraud and actively promote an anti-fraud culture.

We award grants to some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the UK through frontline agencies and services that are overstretched and juggling complex caseloads.

We trust referrers to manage each grant with proper care for the purposes it was awarded, and with attention to our terms and conditions. We work quickly to get our funds to where they are needed most.

Given these complex factors, things will sometimes go wrong. The document below outlines the actions Buttle will take when necessary. Each case is reviewed individually.
