Two charities that received a combined total of more than £1.1m from the British charitable trust run by the Sackler family were kept out of its latest accounts to protect their reputations from “serious prejudice”.

The trust, which draws on the Sackler fortune that came out of the US opioid crisis, gave £3.8m to arts, education and science bodies in 2024, according to its latest accounts, filed on New Year’s Eve.

The largest named recipients, which each received £250,000, were Veterans Aid, which tackles homelessness in the ex-service community, and the Belvoir Cricket and Countryside Trust, which promotes the British countryside along with a love of sport, especially cricket.
