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.

## Frequently asked questions

Common questions about St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace a good charity? + St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace scores 92 out of 100 (5 stars — Exceptional) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 100% of its spending goes to charitable activities 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.

Is St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace a legitimate charity? + Yes — St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1121983). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1121983. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.

What is St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's charity number? + St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's charity number is 1121983. 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 St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's charity rating? + St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace scores 92 out of 100 on CharityCompare (5 stars — Exceptional). 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 St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts. For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.

How much of my donation reaches St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, 100% of St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's total spending went to charitable activities. 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 St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's overheads? + According to its 2024 regulator filing, combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 1% of total expenditure at St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace'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 St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace receive? + St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace reported £704k total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: stable.

Are St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's accounts up to date? + Filing status: up to date (last filing 2026-06-24). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score.

Where is St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace based? + St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace is listed at London · UK-wide · EC2N 4AG and operates UK-wide, focused on human rights.

How does CharityCompare score St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace? + We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace'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 St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace's most recent accounts cover 2024. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
