Common questions about Imperial Health Charity's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Imperial Health Charity a good charity? +
Imperial Health Charity scores 91 out of 100 (5 stars — Exceptional) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 90% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-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 Imperial Health Charity a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Imperial Health Charity as a registered charity (charity number 1166084). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1166084&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money.

What is Imperial Health Charity's charity number? +

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.

Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (none flagged 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 Imperial Health Charity? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 90% of Imperial Health Charity's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).
