Families with young children: a map of connections
At the centre, the 2,329 charities in the field. Around it, the 5,736 other charities whose own reports name the people it serves, grouped by what the register records them as doing (the larger the circle, the more charities). On the outer ring, those that are themselves in another field on this site. The line’s weight is the count.

What this can and cannot say. Each circle is a group of charities counted from their own published reports and the register; no charity is a point on this map. A link is a count, not a relationship between organisations.
