Paul Kirner's Theatre Organ Collection

Paul Kirner's Theatre Organ Collection scores 68 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 61% of its spending goes to charitable activities (latest year) 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.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 61% of Paul Kirner's Theatre Organ Collection's total spending went to charitable activities.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 19% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 22% of expenditure (2025); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Paul Kirner's Theatre Organ Collection.
