Common questions about Association of NHS Charities's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Association of NHS Charities a good charity? +
Association of NHS Charities scores 76 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 Association of NHS Charities a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Association of NHS Charities as a registered charity (charity number 1186569). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1186569&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 Association of NHS Charities's charity number? +
