Riverside Estuary Limited

Riverside Estuary Limited scores 72 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 81% 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.

The register data used for this profile lists Riverside Estuary Limited as a registered charity (charity number 1152095). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1152095&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money.

Riverside Estuary Limited scores 72 out of 100 on CharityCompare (3 stars — Needs improvement). The Clarity Score (method v1.1) 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.

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Riverside Estuary Limited. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (none flagged on this profile). 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, 81% of Riverside Estuary Limited'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 19% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 19% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Riverside Estuary Limited. The register does not show individual salaries; senior pay is disclosed in the trustees' annual report and accounts.
