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. [Full methodology →](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/methodology) 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.

Is Ethnic Youth Support Team a good charity? + Ethnic Youth Support Team scores 71 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 100% 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 Ethnic Youth Support Team a legitimate charity? + Yes — Ethnic Youth Support Team is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1152486). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1152486. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact. What is Ethnic Youth Support Team's charity number? + Ethnic Youth Support Team's charity number is 1152486. 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 Ethnic Youth Support Team's charity rating? + Ethnic Youth Support Team scores 71 out of 100 on CharityCompare (3 stars — Needs improvement). 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 Ethnic Youth Support Team have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Ethnic Youth Support Team. 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).

How much of my donation reaches Ethnic Youth Support Team? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, 100% of Ethnic Youth Support Team's total spending went to charitable activities (2-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 Ethnic Youth Support Team's overheads? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 0% of total expenditure at Ethnic Youth Support Team. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Ethnic Youth Support Team'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 Ethnic Youth Support Team receive? + Ethnic Youth Support Team reported £2.3m total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing. Are Ethnic Youth Support Team's accounts up to date? + Filing status: late (last filing 2026-06-24). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score. Where is Ethnic Youth Support Team based? + Ethnic Youth Support Team is listed at Swansea · UK-wide · SA1 4AB and operates UK-wide, focused on human rights.

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. How often is this page updated? + This profile was last updated on 17 July 2026 from the latest UK regulator data available to CharityCompare, and Ethnic Youth Support Team's most recent accounts cover 2025. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
