How we score charities +
The Clarity Score is a 100-point rating from UK regulator filings (Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR and CCNI). Four pillars — Accountability & Transparency (40), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10) — each scored on a continuous scale, not pass/fail cutoffs. A statutory inquiry sets the score to 0 automatically.
Accountability & Transparency
Scored from filings
40 points — filing history (15), trustee oversight (15, scaling up to a board of three or more), declared policies (10).
Financial Health
Scored from filings
30 points — reserves (15, full marks 3–24 months, tapering on both sides), income stability (10), liabilities to assets (5, scaling down as debt rises).
Financial Efficiency
Scored from filings
20 points — program expense ratio and fundraising cost, each on a graduated scale (not a single cutoff). Kept at 20% of the total: financial-ratio scoring alone is not a reliable effectiveness signal (see "why not just an overhead ratio?" below).
Community Support
Scored from filings
10 points — volunteer-to-staff ratio from Charity Commission workforce data, scaling continuously up to a 2:1 ratio.
Overall score
Sum of all pillar points. Display stars use the same bands as the labels: 90–100 → 5★ Exceptional; 75–89 → 4★ Good; 60–74 → 3★ Needs improvement; 1–59 → 2★ Poor; 0 → not rated.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Ditch the Label LTD's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Ditch the Label LTD a good charity? +
Ditch the Label LTD scores 75 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 96% of its spending goes to charitable activities 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 Ditch the Label LTD a legitimate charity? +
Yes — Ditch the Label LTD is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1156329). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1156329. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.
What is Ditch the Label LTD's charity number? +
Ditch the Label LTD's charity number is 1156329. 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 Ditch the Label LTD's charity rating? +
Ditch the Label LTD scores 75 out of 100 on CharityCompare (4 stars — Good). The Clarity Score V1 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 Ditch the Label LTD have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Ditch the Label LTD. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (1 filing concern(s) noted on this profile). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.
How much of my donation reaches Ditch the Label LTD? +
According to its 2025 regulator filing, 96% of Ditch the Label LTD'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.
What are Ditch the Label LTD's overheads? +
According to its 2025 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 4% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 30% of total expenditure at Ditch the Label LTD. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Ditch the Label LTD's chief executive is paid — where disclosure rules apply, senior pay appears in the trustees' annual report on the Charity Commission register.
How much income does Ditch the Label LTD receive? +
Ditch the Label LTD reported £602k total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing.
Are Ditch the Label LTD's accounts up to date? +

Where is Ditch the Label LTD based? +
Ditch the Label LTD is listed at Brighton · UK-wide · BN1 1JE and operates UK-wide, focused on disability.

An open statutory inquiry scores 0. The score measures reporting on paper, not programme impact. CharityCompare is free for donors, takes no commission on donations, and scores cannot be bought.

Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
