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.

CharityCompare never tells you where to donate. Is International House Trust Limited a legitimate charity? + Yes — International House Trust Limited is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 270860). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/270860.

What is International House Trust Limited's charity number? + International House Trust Limited's charity number is 270860.

What are International House Trust Limited's overheads? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 1% of total expenditure at International House Trust Limited. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what International House Trust Limited's chief executive is paid — where disclosure rules apply, senior pay appears in the trustees' annual report on the Charity Commission register.

Five-year trend: growing. Are International House Trust Limited's accounts up to date? + Filing status: up to date (last filing 2026-06-24).
