Rowcroft House Foundation Limited

Rowcroft House Foundation Limited scores 83 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 63% 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.

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 63% of Rowcroft House Foundation Limited's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 37% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 39% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Rowcroft House Foundation Limited.
