Common questions about Day One Trauma Support's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Day One Trauma Support a good charity? +
Day One Trauma Support scores 90 out of 100 (5 stars — Exceptional) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 77% 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 Day One Trauma Support a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Day One Trauma Support as a registered charity (charity number 1194227). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1194227&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 Day One Trauma Support's charity number? +
Day One Trauma Support's charity number is 1194227. Check that number on the official register (Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI) or this CharityCompare profile before you donate — scammers sometimes reuse real numbers on fake appeals.
What is Day One Trauma Support's charity rating? +
