Standing Voice

Standing Voice's objective is to end human rights violations against marginalised groups through its Education, Health, Advocacy and Community Programmes. We currently focus on promoting the social inclusion of people with albinism in Africa, who commonly face extreme social exclusion leading to marginalisation from health and education services, social support, and witchcraft-fuelled murder.

Financial Trend

Annual Returns

As filed with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Most recent filing covers the financial year ending 2025.

One or more years show a significant change in income (over ±100%) compared with the prior year. This usually reflects a merger, transfer of activities, restated accounts, or a one-off legacy — not necessarily a real change in operating scale. See the methodology for context.
