The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Gia is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. A rating can be added when the charity enters our scoring dataset with enough filing data. Payment never influences a rating. [How scoring works](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/methodology) ## What should you check before donating to Gia? - Match the registered name and number to the appeal. A real charity number can be copied by someone impersonating the organisation. - Open the current register entry to check status, contact details and available accounts. This profile reflects a dated extract. - Read the charity’s annual report for its work and results. An unrated profile means we lack a full assessment; it is not a negative rating.
