How we score charities
+The Clarity Score is a 100-point rating from UK regulator filings (Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR and CCNI). 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. Display stars use the same bands as the labels: 90–100 → 5★ Exceptional; 75–89 → 4★ Good; 60–74 → 3★ Needs improvement; 1–59 → 2★ Poor; 0 → not rated.

## What red flags does Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj have?

## Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj a good charity? + Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj scores 36 out of 100 (2 stars — Poor) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 73% of its spending goes to charitable activities and its accounts are late. 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 Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj a legitimate charity? + Yes — Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1171929). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1171929. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.

What is Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's charity number? + Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's charity number is 1171929. 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.

What is Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's charity rating? + Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj scores 36 out of 100 on CharityCompare (2 stars — Poor). 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 Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (4 filing concern(s) noted on this profile). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.

How much of my donation reaches Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, 73% of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj'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.

What are Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's overheads? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 81% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 33% of total expenditure at Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj'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 Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj receive? + Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj reported £1.5m total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: declining.

Are Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's accounts up to date? + Filing status: late (last filing 2026-06-24). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score.

Where is Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj based? + Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj is listed at London · UK-wide · HA7 1JR and operates UK-wide, focused on religion.

How does CharityCompare score Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj? + We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 points — filing history, trustees, policies), Financial Health (30 — reserves, income trend, debt), Financial Efficiency (20 — cause spend and fundraising cost, on a graduated scale) and Community Support (10 — volunteer-to-staff ratio). 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 Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj's most recent accounts cover 2025. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
