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.

Around 80% of its spending goes to charitable activities and its accounts are up to date.

CharityCompare never tells you where to donate. Is Roffey Park Institute Limited a legitimate charity? + Yes — Roffey Park Institute Limited is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 254591). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/254591.

What is Roffey Park Institute Limited's charity number? + Roffey Park Institute Limited's charity number is 254591. 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.

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 Roffey Park Institute Limited have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Roffey Park Institute Limited.

How much of my donation reaches Roffey Park Institute Limited? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, 80% of Roffey Park Institute Limited's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are Roffey Park Institute Limited's overheads? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 1% of total expenditure at Roffey Park Institute Limited. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Roffey Park Institute Limited'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 Roffey Park Institute Limited receive? + Roffey Park Institute Limited reported £9.6m total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing.

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 Roffey Park Institute Limited's most recent accounts cover 2025.
