Common questions about Humentum UK's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Humentum UK a good charity? +
Humentum UK scores 63 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 100% of its spending goes to charitable activities (2-yr avg) 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 Humentum UK a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Humentum UK as a registered charity (charity number 1081406). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1081406&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money. Registration does not verify a particular appeal; Clarity Score summarises filing transparency, not programme impact.
What is Humentum UK's charity number? +

What is Humentum UK's charity rating? +

The Clarity Score (method v1.1) 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 Humentum UK have reviews and complaints? +

How much of my donation reaches Humentum UK? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 100% of Humentum UK's total spending went to charitable activities (2-yr avg across disclosed years).
