Common questions about Acheinu Cancer Support's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Acheinu Cancer Support a good charity? +
Acheinu Cancer Support scores 78 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 87% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-yr avg) and its accounts are up to date. That reflects how transparent and financially healthy it looks on paper — it does not measure the real-world impact of its work, so treat it as one factor alongside the cause you care about. CharityCompare never tells you where to donate.
Is Acheinu Cancer Support a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Acheinu Cancer Support as a registered charity (charity number 1181606). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1181606&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money. Registration does not verify a particular appeal; Clarity Score summarises filing transparency, not programme impact.
What is Acheinu Cancer Support's charity number? +

How much of my donation reaches Acheinu Cancer Support? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 87% of Acheinu Cancer Support's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).
