Once a major income source, Stonewall’s Diversity Champions Scheme has seen a steady exodus. In February, it was reported that every major government department withdrew, citing concerns over its influence over Whitehall policies. Other high-profile organisations, including the BBC, Channel 4, Ofsted, and major law firms, have also distanced themselves from the charity’s workplace programmes. The charity’s most recent accounts reveal an £858,000 deficit, nearly double that of the previous year.
Against this backdrop, blaming Trump’s foreign aid freeze looks less like a full explanation and more like an attempt to divert attention from a deeper problem: Stonewall’s dwindling support among UK institutions and businesses, many of which have grown uneasy with its approach to equality law and a perceived lack of tolerance for dissent from its pro-trans agenda.
