Welcome to DOGE UK, where we shine a light on the money trails that power everything from universities and charities to NGOs and activist groups across the entire political spectrum.
Government, foundations, charities and organisations pour billions into these entities every year, and this data is already out there in the public domain… if you know where to look (most folks don’t – and that’s where DOGE UK comes in).
Our mission is to collate, investigate, and report on it all – the good, the bad, and the “What? Really?” so you can see the full picture without the spin.
Whether it’s funding that builds bridges (literally or figuratively) or ones that raise eyebrows, we expose it transparently and let you decide.
Dive into our free public resources, findings, and raw data sources, because knowledge isn’t just power… it’s your right.
Here we have a selection of video explainers on some of the quangos we feel are most deserving of the DOGE treatment.
