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 →](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. 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 Go Dharmic Welfare UK's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is Go Dharmic Welfare UK a good charity? + Go Dharmic Welfare UK scores 89 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 70% 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 Go Dharmic Welfare UK a legitimate charity? + Yes — Go Dharmic Welfare UK is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1171619). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1171619. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.

What is Go Dharmic Welfare UK's charity number? + Go Dharmic Welfare UK's charity number is 1171619. 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 Go Dharmic Welfare UK's charity rating? + Go Dharmic Welfare UK scores 89 out of 100 on CharityCompare (4 stars — Good). 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 Go Dharmic Welfare UK have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Go Dharmic Welfare UK.

How much of my donation reaches Go Dharmic Welfare UK? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, 70% of Go Dharmic Welfare UK's total spending went to charitable activities.

What are Go Dharmic Welfare UK's overheads? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 30% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 10% of total expenditure at Go Dharmic Welfare UK.

How much income does Go Dharmic Welfare UK receive? + Go Dharmic Welfare UK reported £532k total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing.

Are Go Dharmic Welfare UK's accounts up to date? + Filing status: up to date (last filing 2026-06-24). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score.

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 Go Dharmic Welfare UK'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.
