Common questions about Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust General Charitable Fund's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust General Charitable Fund a good charity? +
Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust General Charitable Fund scores 69 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 86% 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.
