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.
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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD a good charity? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD scores 58 out of 100 (2 stars — Poor) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Its recent filings do not disclose a charitable-activities spend split 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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD a legitimate charity? +
Yes — Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1140006). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1140006. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.
What is Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's charity number? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's charity number is 1140006. 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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's charity rating? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD scores 58 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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD. 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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD does not disclose a charitable-activities spend split in its recent UK regulator filings, so there is no official figure for how much of a donation reaches the cause. CharityCompare reports this as "not disclosed" rather than assuming a number.
What are Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's overheads? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's recent UK regulator filings do not disclose a fundraising or governance cost split, so no official overhead percentage is available. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD'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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD receive? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD reported £887k total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing.
Are Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD's accounts up to date? +

Where is Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD based? +
Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD is listed at Stevenage · SG2 8RH, focused on disability.
How does CharityCompare score Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD? +
We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD'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 Stevenage Football Club Foundation LTD'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.
