My University Hospitals Sussex

My University Hospitals Sussex scores 76 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 56% 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.

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for My University Hospitals Sussex. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (one red flag on this profile: insufficient trustee oversight). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 56% of My University Hospitals Sussex's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years). That is the closest official figure to "how much of your donation reaches the cause" — it is an average across all spending in the filing, not a pound-by-pound breakdown of an individual gift.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 13% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 13% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at My University Hospitals Sussex. The register does not show individual salaries; senior pay is disclosed in the trustees' annual report and accounts.
