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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited a good charity? + Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited scores 78 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 65% of its spending goes to charitable activities 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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited a legitimate charity? + Yes — Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 295716). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/295716. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact. What is Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's charity number? + Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's charity number is 295716. 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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's charity rating? + Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited scores 78 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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited. 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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, 65% of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's overheads? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 35% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 37% of total expenditure at Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited'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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited receive? + Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited reported £8.0m total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing. Are Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's accounts up to date? + Filing status: up to date (last filing 2026-06-24).

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 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited's most recent accounts cover 2025. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
