Disclosed round sizes in this UK “Community and Lifestyle” slice show a clear split: the largest disclosed amount is Maji with $190M on 2024-01-17, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Manual at $39M (2024-09-17) and Cloud Nine Hair at $26M (2026-04-15). A second outlier appears at the low end with SonX at $20K (2023-04-11), contrasting sharply with multiple seven-figure rounds including Calla Lily Clinical Care at $1M (2025-04-03) and Tiney at $9M (2024-05-13).
Temporally, the most recent row is Swansea City (Series Unknown) on 2026-06-29, while the oldest shown is The Joy Club on 2022-09-22. Most entries cluster in London (e.g., Happl 2026-05-11, Third Space Learning 2026-04-29, Manual 2024-09-17), indicating geographic concentration, and staging is heavily obscured: “Series Unknown” accounts for most rows, with additional “undisclosed” amounts (including Swansea City 2026-06-29 and Yoto 2026-03-19).

Frequently asked
What do the disclosed round sizes look like—are there major outliers?
Yes. Maji’s $190M (2024-01-17) is the only disclosed round in the $100M range, followed by much smaller peaks like Manual at $39M (2024-09-17) and Cloud Nine Hair at $26M (2026-04-15). At the bottom, SonX raised $20K (2023-04-11), well below the common mid–seven-figure range (for example, Creature Comforts at $9M on 2023-10-19 and Tiney at $9M on 2024-05-13).
Does the list concentrate geographically, or is it spread across the UK?
London is the dominant hub across multiple rounds, including Happl ($11M on 2026-05-11), Third Space Learning ($6M on 2026-04-29), Yoto (undisclosed on 2026-03-19), and Manual ($39M on 2024-09-17). Non-London locations still appear (e.g., Coigach Community Development Company $4M in Ullapool on 2026-06-16; Tourhub $1M in Cardiff on 2023-10-16), but the city-level pattern repeatedly returns to London.
How much of the table is temporally “front-loaded” versus spread out?
Rounds span from 2022-09-22 (The Joy Club) through 2026-06-29 (Swansea City), with many of the newest entries in 2025–2026 (e.g., Happl 2026-05-11; Limitless Travel $8M on 2025-04-01; onHand $940K on 2024-12-23). That creates a visible recent edge even though the oldest entries are still included.
What stage and disclosure patterns matter for diligence or outreach?
Stage labels are frequently missing: “Series Unknown” appears on most rows (including Swansea City 2026-06-29 and Many other entries such as Third Space Learning 2026-04-29). Amounts are also sometimes undisclosed, including Swansea City (undisclosed), Yoto (undisclosed on 2026-03-19), and Maji’s $190M shown as disclosed—so size comparisons often depend on whether the amount is present.
Are there discernible clusters in specific cities or recurring funding sizes rather than scattered peaks?
Beyond the London concentration, the disclosed amounts often repeat within the same broad band: several entries are in the single-digit millions, such as Third Space Learning at $6M (2026-04-29), Outverse at $6M (2023-07-11), and Limitless Travel at $8M (2025-04-01). The extremes stand apart—Maji’s $190M (2024-01-17) and SonX’s $20K (2023-04-11)—so most non-outlier rounds cluster at mid to higher millions rather than a uniform spread.
