Barnsley Hospital Charity

Barnsley Hospital Charity scores 64 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 70% 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.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 70% of Barnsley Hospital Charity's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years). That is the closest official figure to "how much of your donation reaches the cause" — it is an average across all spending in the filing, not a pound-by-pound breakdown of an individual gift.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 30% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 31% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Barnsley Hospital Charity. The register does not show individual salaries; senior pay is disclosed in the trustees' annual report and accounts.
