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.

Full 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. 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 Eurovision Mission to Europe's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is Eurovision Mission to Europe a good charity? +

Eurovision Mission to Europe scores 68 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 92% of its spending goes to charitable activities 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 Eurovision Mission to Europe a legitimate charity? +

Yes — Eurovision Mission to Europe is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1126438). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1126438. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.

What is Eurovision Mission to Europe's charity number? +

Eurovision Mission to Europe's charity number is 1126438. 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 Eurovision Mission to Europe's charity rating? +

Eurovision Mission to Europe scores 68 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 Eurovision Mission to Europe have reviews and complaints? +

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Eurovision Mission to Europe. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts. For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.

How much of my donation reaches Eurovision Mission to Europe? +

According to its 2024 regulator filing, 92% of Eurovision Mission to Europe's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are Eurovision Mission to Europe's overheads? +

According to its 2024 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 8% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 9% of total expenditure at Eurovision Mission to Europe.

How much income does Eurovision Mission to Europe receive? +

Eurovision Mission to Europe reported £2.1m total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: stable.

Are Eurovision Mission to Europe's accounts up to date? +
