Economic/community Development/employment ## Why is there no Clarity Score for Local Trust yet? Our dataset does not yet contain the detailed filing history needed to score Local Trust. 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](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/methodology) ## What should you check before donating to Local Trust? - Match the registered name and number to the appeal. A real charity number can be copied by someone impersonating the organisation. - Open the current register entry to check status, contact details and available accounts. This profile reflects a dated extract. - 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.
