Common questions about International Longevity Centre-UK's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is International Longevity Centre-UK a good charity? +
International Longevity Centre-UK scores 76 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 86% 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 International Longevity Centre-UK a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists International Longevity Centre-UK as a registered charity (charity number 1080496). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1080496&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 International Longevity Centre-UK's charity number? +

Does International Longevity Centre-UK have reviews and complaints? +
