Four pillars — Accountability & Transparency (40), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10) — each scored on a continuous scale, not pass/fail cutoffs. A statutory inquiry sets the score to 0 automatically. [Full methodology →](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/methodology) Accountability & Transparency Scored from filings 40 points — filing history (15), trustee oversight (15, scaling up to a board of three or more), declared policies (10). Financial Health Scored from filings 30 points — reserves (15, full marks 3–24 months, tapering on both sides), income stability (10), liabilities to assets (5, scaling down as debt rises). Financial Efficiency Scored from filings 20 points — program expense ratio and fundraising cost, each on a graduated scale (not a single cutoff). Kept at 20% of the total: financial-ratio scoring alone is not a reliable effectiveness signal (see "why not just an overhead ratio?" below). Community Support Scored from filings 10 points — volunteer-to-staff ratio from Charity Commission workforce data, scaling continuously up to a 2:1 ratio. Overall score Sum of all pillar points.

Is Netherhall Educational Association a good charity? + Netherhall Educational Association scores 73 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 94% of its spending goes to charitable activities and its accounts are late. 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. Is Netherhall Educational Association a legitimate charity? + Yes — Netherhall Educational Association is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 236586). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/236586. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact. What is Netherhall Educational Association's charity number? + Netherhall Educational Association's charity number is 236586. Check that number on the official register (Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI) or this CharityCompare profile before you donate — scammers sometimes reuse real numbers on fake appeals. What is Netherhall Educational Association's charity rating? + Netherhall Educational Association scores 73 out of 100 on CharityCompare (3 stars — Needs improvement). The Clarity Score V1 sums four pillars from UK regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 pts), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10). Stars use the same bands as those labels — 90+ is 5★ Exceptional. It is not an impact ranking. Does Netherhall Educational Association have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Netherhall Educational Association. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (2 filing concern(s) noted on this profile). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate. How much of my donation reaches Netherhall Educational Association? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, 94% of Netherhall Educational Association's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are Netherhall Educational Association's overheads? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 6% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 7% of total expenditure at Netherhall Educational Association. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Netherhall Educational Association's chief executive is paid — where disclosure rules apply, senior pay appears in the trustees' annual report on the Charity Commission register. How much income does Netherhall Educational Association receive? + Netherhall Educational Association reported £3.6m total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: stable. Are Netherhall Educational Association's accounts up to date? + Filing status: late (last filing 2026-06-24).

How does CharityCompare score Netherhall Educational Association? + We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in Netherhall Educational Association's regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 points — filing history, trustees, policies), Financial Health (30 — reserves, income trend, debt), Financial Efficiency (20 — cause spend and fundraising cost, on a graduated scale) and Community Support (10 — volunteer-to-staff ratio). An open statutory inquiry scores 0. The score measures reporting on paper, not programme impact. CharityCompare is free for donors, takes no commission on donations, and scores cannot be bought. How often is this page updated? + This profile was last updated on 17 July 2026 from the latest UK regulator data available to CharityCompare, and Netherhall Educational Association's most recent accounts cover 2024. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
