We are collaborating on targeted projects that expand our reach and deepen our impact:
Thanks to Nominet's incredible funding in support of our technology team, we have been able to increase our capacity to develop our systems to keep pace with the change and volume we deal with through our Hotline. A massive impactful investment.
At Nominet, we have a mission to make the internet safe and secure. Our partnership with the Internet Watch Foundation is a key part of that.
Our funding supports the development of tools and technologies the IWF needs to find and remove child sexual abuse material at scale. It shows what’s possible when organisations work together with purpose and determination.
By backing the IWF, we’re strengthening the defences that protect children online and helping ensure the internet remains a place they can explore safely. It’s work we’re proud to support.
IWF joined a new consortium led by the International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute (IPPPRI) at Anglia Ruskin University, alongside Child Rescue Coalition and Protect Children to develop the ECHO Survivor Hub. Funded by Safe Online and the Graham Dacre Foundation, this pilot will launch a survivor-focused response to online child sexual exploitation.
A £250,000 donation enabled the establishment of a dedicated Data & Insights Taskforce. This new capability centralises and analyses critical data produced by our analysts, supporting faster insights and more impactful action against online abuse.
Our corporate partners provide more than just financial support; they offer the technical and sector-specific expertise required to have impact on our mission. By aligning with industry leaders, we ensure that child safety is built into the fabric of the digital economy.
Through their long-term commitment of £60,000+ over three years, Pinsent Masons has united the cybersecurity and legal sectors via the Move for a Safer Internet campaign, fostering a culture of collective responsibility.
Our partnership with The Security Institute has driven vital sector-wide engagement and visibility, leveraging their member platform to raise both funds and awareness for our mission.
We gratefully acknowledge members of the public who contributed through online donations, payroll giving, and Gift Aid, providing more than £30,000 over the past year.
From Alexandra Nightingale’s incredible £10,000 Kilimanjaro trek to funds raised through local initiatives like our Collection4Clothes recycling units, our community supporters remain the heartbeat of our efforts.
While we are on a stronger footing than ever, the scale of the challenge is growing. Our core work: identifying and removing imagery of child abuse, is the frontline of child protection, but it is not a given.
These collaborations are not just beneficial; they are critical. To keep pace with technology and the people who exploit it, we need sustained, courageous funding. We invite you to stand with us. Without your investment, our core mission cannot continue.
I am incredibly proud of the depth and diversity of our partnerships this year, from government agencies and global tech leaders to the dedicated individuals taking on personal challenges for our cause. We have shifted our focus toward truly mission-aligned collaborations, where our partners don't just provide funding, but contribute the strategic and technical expertise we need to stay ahead of an evolving threat.
However, the scale of online abuse is a reality that refuses to wait. While these alliances have built a stronger shield for children, our ability to keep this frontline operation running depends entirely on sustained, courageous investment. To keep pace with technology and the people who exploit it, we need your continued support; together, we can ensure the internet remains a place where children are safe to explore, learn, and grow.
