Common questions about Education For Industry Group's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Education For Industry Group a good charity? +
Education For Industry Group scores 83 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 99% 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 Education For Industry Group a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Education For Industry Group as a registered charity (charity number 1119540). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1119540&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 Education For Industry Group's charity number? +

The Clarity Score (method v1.1) 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 Education For Industry Group have reviews and complaints? +

How much of my donation reaches Education For Industry Group? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 99% of Education For Industry Group'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 0% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 1% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Education For Industry Group.
