Why is there no Clarity Score for Link to Change yet?

Our dataset does not yet contain the detailed filing history needed to score Link to Change. An unrated profile is a gap in our assessment, not a negative judgement about the charity. The register facts and available annual-return disclosures above remain useful. Payment never influences a rating. How scoring works

What should you check before donating to Link to Change?

  • 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.
