The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Dementia Project UK is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. A rating can be added when the charity enters our scoring dataset with enough filing data. Payment never influences a rating. [How scoring works](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/methodology) ## What should you check before donating to Dementia Project UK? - Match the registered name and number to the appeal.
