Common questions about College of Paramedics's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is College of Paramedics a good charity? +
College of Paramedics scores 84 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 100% of its spending goes to charitable activities (2-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 College of Paramedics a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists College of Paramedics as a registered charity (charity number 1164445). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1164445&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 College of Paramedics's charity number? +
