Education/trainingArts/culture/heritage/science ## Why is there no Clarity Score for Hands on Heritage yet? The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Hands on Heritage 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 Hands on Heritage? - 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.
