From the Khalifa’s sermons
In his 8 January 2016 sermon, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) explained: a third of the contributions is spent in the country where it is collected. Of the remaining two thirds, one portion is spent in Qadian and the rest of India, and the rest in African and some other countries.
This is what the sermon said in 2016. It is not an audited breakdown of current UK contributions.

We have not found them reported as Waqf-e-Jadid work in the Waqf-e-Jadid sermons on Al Islam (2010–2026), and our search of Al Hakam did not find them either. They will be added once a verified source is found.
