## Why is there no Clarity Score for Legal Action yet?

The register facts and available annual-return disclosures above remain useful. Payment never influences a rating.

## What should you check before donating to Legal Action?

- Match the registered name and number to the appeal. A real charity number can be copied by someone impersonating the organisation.

- Read the charity’s annual report for its work and results. An unrated profile means we lack a full assessment; it is not a negative rating.
