Aims and activities
We support an impressive civil society coalition (the UK Anti-Corruption Coalition) to tackle the UK’s massive dirty money problem - officially estimated at hundreds of billions of pounds per year. The coalition has made real progress in the last two years. But the gains are fragile. They need help seeing the job through.
It's well known that the UK’s financial systems are abused in ways that enable all sorts of social harm, at huge scale. By allowing secrecy and impunity, they let criminals and the unscrupulous evade the law. This turbo-charges inequality, undermines the climate fight, degrades democracy and enables crimes like corruption, trafficking and terrorism.
The coalition has helped change laws and practice. But the job is only half done. We need to bring in more funding over the next 3 to 5 years, so they can build on current momentum, and stop the UK being such a safe harbour for the proceeds of corruption and crime from around the world.
The Joffe Charitable Trust is supporting this work and leading efforts to engage other funders. Help us fix this structural issue now!
