Common questions about The Alan Turing Institute's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is The Alan Turing Institute a good charity? +
The Alan Turing Institute scores 78 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 99% 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.
Is The Alan Turing Institute a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists The Alan Turing Institute as a registered charity (charity number 1162533). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1162533&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money. Registration does not verify a particular appeal; Clarity Score summarises filing transparency, not programme impact.
What is The Alan Turing Institute's charity number? +
The Alan Turing Institute's charity number is 1162533. 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 The Alan Turing Institute's charity rating? +
The Alan Turing Institute scores 78 out of 100 on CharityCompare (4 stars — Good). The Clarity Score (method v1.1) 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 The Alan Turing Institute have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Alan Turing Institute. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (none flagged 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 The Alan Turing Institute? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 99% of The Alan Turing Institute'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 The Alan Turing Institute's overheads? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 1% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 2% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at The Alan Turing Institute. The Alan Turing Institute's annual return for the year ending 31 March 2025 reports 102 employees paid more than £60,000, including 19 employees paid more than £100,000. The highest reported pay band is £300,001–£350,000 (1 employee). Individual salaries, including the chief executive's, are disclosed in the trustees' annual report rather than on the register.

This profile was last updated on 6 September 2026 from the latest UK regulator data available to CharityCompare, and The Alan Turing Institute'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.
