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.
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 Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited a good charity? +
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited scores 66 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Its recent filings do not disclose a charitable-activities spend split and its accounts are missing. 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 Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited a legitimate charity? +
Yes — Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1136559). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1136559. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.
What is Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited's charity number? +
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited's charity number is 1136559. 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 Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited's charity rating? +
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited scores 66 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 Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (2 filing concern(s) noted on this profile). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.
How much of my donation reaches Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited? +
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited does not disclose a charitable-activities spend split in its recent UK regulator filings, so there is no official figure for how much of a donation reaches the cause. CharityCompare reports this as "not disclosed" rather than assuming a number.
What are Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited's overheads? +
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited's recent UK regulator filings do not disclose a fundraising or governance cost split, so no official overhead percentage is available. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited'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 Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited receive? +
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association Limited reported £458k total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: stable.

Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
