Map a network

The people who link organisations, and the boards they share, one recorded step at a time.

How it works

Step by step, on real recordsi

Link a charity to a company
A recorded route between Garfield Weston Foundation and Wittington Investments Limited through one person on both boards.
Why it matters. A shared board is a formal link, not proof the organisations act together. Say that in the copy.

Why you can rely on it

Sources, matching and privacy

Official sources

Board and officer records from the Charity Commission, OSCR, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, Companies House and the Department for Education, with other public registers named on each record. Every fact shows its register and date.

How we handle data

Careful matching

Records are joined into one person only where our identity-matching rules support it. Confirmed relationships are supported by the approved evidence and rules. Likely relationships are shown with the label “Likely the same person”. Connections are calculated here and labelled as calculated.

Methodology

Private by default

Nobody is told you looked them up. Viewing, searching and saving are private. Near Me lists organisations only, never where people live, and nothing a person types becomes an official fact.

Privacy
