Common questions about Beyondautism's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Beyondautism a good charity? +
Beyondautism scores 64 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 99% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-yr avg) and its accounts are late. 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 Beyondautism a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Beyondautism as a registered charity (charity number 1082599). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1082599&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money.

What is Beyondautism's charity number? +

What is Beyondautism's charity rating? +

The Clarity Score (method v1.1) sums four pillars from UK regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 pts), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10). Stars use the same bands as those labels — 90+ is 5★ Exceptional. It is not an impact ranking.
Does Beyondautism have reviews and complaints? +

For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.
How much of my donation reaches Beyondautism? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 99% of Beyondautism's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are Beyondautism's overheads? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 1% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 1% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Beyondautism.
