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 Evangelical Movement of Wales's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is The Evangelical Movement of Wales a good charity? +

The Evangelical Movement of Wales scores 94 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 The Evangelical Movement of Wales a legitimate charity? +

Yes — The Evangelical Movement of Wales is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 222407). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/222407. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.

What is The Evangelical Movement of Wales's charity number? +

The Evangelical Movement of Wales's charity number is 222407. 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 Evangelical Movement of Wales's charity rating? +

The Evangelical Movement of Wales scores 94 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 The Evangelical Movement of Wales have reviews and complaints? +

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Evangelical Movement of Wales. 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 Evangelical Movement of Wales? +

According to its 2025 regulator filing, 100% of The Evangelical Movement of Wales's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are The Evangelical Movement of Wales's overheads? +

According to its 2025 regulator filing, combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 2% of total expenditure at The Evangelical Movement of Wales.

How much income does The Evangelical Movement of Wales receive? +

The Evangelical Movement of Wales reported £836k total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: growing.

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 Evangelical Movement of Wales's most recent accounts cover 2025.
