Human Relief Mission is a registered charity (no. 1160380) working in international aid across the United Kingdom. Its latest Charity Commission filing directs 94% of spending to charitable activities, holding roughly 0 months of reserves, though its recent accounts were filed late. Reported income changed sharply in 2022 (likely a merger, transfer or reporting change) — year-on-year trend labels are not meaningful across that step. CharityCompare's Clarity Score rates the organisation only from public Charity Commission accounts — accountability, financial health, efficiency and community support — not the quality or impact of its programmes.

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.

Is Human Relief Mission a good charity? + Human Relief Mission scores 70 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 94% of its spending goes to charitable activities and its accounts are late. 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 Human Relief Mission a legitimate charity? + Yes — Human Relief Mission is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1160380). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1160380. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact. What is Human Relief Mission's charity number? + Human Relief Mission's charity number is 1160380. 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 Human Relief Mission's charity rating? + Human Relief Mission scores 70 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 Human Relief Mission have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Human Relief Mission. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (1 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 Human Relief Mission? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, 94% of Human Relief Mission's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years). That is the closest official figure to "how much of your donation reaches the cause" — it is an average across all spending in the filing, not a pound-by-pound breakdown of an individual gift. What are Human Relief Mission's overheads? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 6% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 6% of total expenditure at Human Relief Mission. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Human Relief Mission'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 Human Relief Mission receive? + Human Relief Mission reported £1.9m total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: restructured. Are Human Relief Mission's accounts up to date? + Filing status: late (last filing 2026-06-24). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score. Where is Human Relief Mission based? + Human Relief Mission is listed at Leeds · UK-wide · LS8 5JP and operates UK-wide, focused on international aid. How does CharityCompare score Human Relief Mission? + We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in Human Relief Mission's regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 points — filing history, trustees, policies), Financial Health (30 — reserves, income trend, debt), Financial Efficiency (20 — cause spend and fundraising cost, on a graduated scale) and Community Support (10 — volunteer-to-staff ratio). 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 Human Relief Mission's most recent accounts cover 2024. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
