What does The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust do?

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust is a registered charity (no. 269269) working in disability in London · NW4 4AB. Its latest Charity Commission filing does not disclose a charitable-activities spend split in recent filings, holding roughly 19 months of reserves, and files its annual accounts on time. Reported income changed sharply in 2021 (likely a merger, transfer or reporting change) — year-on-year trend labels are not meaningful across that step. CharityCompare's Clarity Score rates the organisation only from public Charity Commission accounts — accountability, financial health, efficiency and community support — not the quality or impact of its programmes.

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 →

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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust a good charity? +

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust scores 82 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) 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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust a legitimate charity? +

Yes — The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 269269). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/269269. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.

What is The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust's charity number? +

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust's charity number is 269269. 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 British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust's charity rating? +

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust scores 82 out of 100 on CharityCompare (4 stars — Good). 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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust have reviews and complaints? +

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust. 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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust? +

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust 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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust's overheads? +

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust'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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust'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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust receive? +

The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust reported £255k total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: restructured.

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 The British Friends of the Israeli War Disabled Trust's most recent accounts cover 2024.
