'Tampon Tax' fund recipients

Is anyone with (better search skills than I have) able to find this list on gov.uk?

"Details of successful applicants to the Tampon Tax Fund since the 2017/18 round of funding are publicly available on gov.uk. The government grants register also provides information regarding grant awards made by government departments."

This is a response to a Parliamentary question from Jackie Doyle-Price.

Thanks, that's useful, but I particularly want to see the list that is supposed to exist on gov.uk and I can't find it.

No. Not me yet. I'm still looking!

There are press releases but the .gov.uk search engine is very primitive.

I also think but dont have time to chase, that some money went to organisation to then disperse to smaller groups:

2017 www.gov.uk/government/news/charities-across-the-uk-benefit-from-tampon-tax-fund

2018 www.gov.uk/government/news/women-and-girls-set-to-benefit-from-15-million-tampon-tax-fund

2019 www.gov.uk/government/news/charities-across-the-uk-supporting-vulnerable-women-benefit-in-latest-round-of-funding-from-tampon-tax-fund

The deadline for 2020 applications was extended into early June so not sure when they will publish who got money and who didn't.

Thanks all! Surely the minister could have just published the links in his answer? Still no easy way to find out where that money has gone without a LOT of digging is there?
