The Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust (company number 357963) made seven reportable donations totalling £107,724 between 1 August 2025 and 2 February 2026, according to the Electoral Commission register.

Three went to the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland: £16,863 on 1 August 2025 (C0833310), £20,538 on 3 November 2025 (C0834272) and £20,535 on 2 February 2026 (C0836403), a total of £57,936.

Two went to the Liberal Democrats, both accepted on 7 January 2026: £21,481 (C0837283) and £3,000 (C0837284).

Two went to Labour Campaign For Electoral Reform: £14,307 on 1 October 2025 (C0833219) and £11,000 on 7 January 2026 (C0836451), a total of £25,307.

The donations appear under three spellings ("Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust Ltd", "THE JOSEPH ROWNTREE REFORM TRUST LIMITED" and "Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust") and with the company number given as 357963 and as 0357963. They appear as one pattern only when joined on the company number with leading zeros ignored.

Donations to political parties above the reporting threshold are lawful and are published by the Electoral Commission as a matter of routine.

Loro has made no approach to the company and draws no inference about the reasons for the donations. The figures above are as reported to the Electoral Commission by the recipients.

Correction, 29 September 2026: an earlier version of this article said the trust made five donations totalling £82,417 to two parties. It omitted two donations to Labour Campaign For Electoral Reform (C0833219 and C0836451), recorded under company number 0357963. The headline and figures have been corrected.
