Common questions about New Adventures Charity's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is New Adventures Charity a good charity? +
New Adventures Charity scores 66 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 17% 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.
Is New Adventures Charity a legitimate charity? +
