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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine a good charity? + Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine scores 84 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 99% 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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine a legitimate charity? + Yes — Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1047999). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1047999. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact. What is Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's charity number? + Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's charity number is 1047999. 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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's charity rating? + Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine scores 84 out of 100 on CharityCompare (4 stars — Good). 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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine. 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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, 99% of Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine'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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's overheads? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 1% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 4% of total expenditure at Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine'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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine receive? + Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine reported £1.8m total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: stable. Are Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's accounts up to date? + Filing status: late (last filing 2026-06-24).

Where is Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine based? + Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine is listed at York · UK-wide · YO24 1ES and operates UK-wide, focused on disability. How does CharityCompare score Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine? + We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine'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 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine'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.
