Diverse Abilities Plus LTD.

Diverse Abilities Plus LTD. scores 94 out of 100 (5 stars — Exceptional) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 96% 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.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 96% of Diverse Abilities Plus LTD.'s total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 4% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 4% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Diverse Abilities Plus LTD..
