Results and impact evidence

We have not added a source-checked programme outcome for this charity. That is a gap in this profile, not evidence that the charity has no impact. Its annual report may contain results that have not been assessed here.

Reported grants to institutions: £0 (2025-03-31). This is spending reported in the annual return, not a measure of beneficiary outcomes or an open grant opportunity. It may already be included in charitable expenditure. Check the source accounts.

What these results can tell you

Counts of services delivered describe activity. They do not by themselves establish lasting change, what would have happened without the programme, or cost-effectiveness. Results with different definitions, populations or years should not be ranked against each other.

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 Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust a good charity? +

The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust scores 61 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 52% of its spending goes to charitable activities (latest year) 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 Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust a legitimate charity? +

The register data used for this profile lists The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust as a registered charity (charity number 1048294). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1048294&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 Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust's charity number? +

The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust's charity number is 1048294. 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 Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust's charity rating? +

The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust scores 61 out of 100 on CharityCompare (3 stars — Needs improvement). 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 Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust have reviews and complaints? +

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (2 red flags on this profile: insufficient trustee oversight; high fundraising costs). 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 Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust? +

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 52% of The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust'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 The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust's overheads? +

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 48% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 52% of expenditure (2025); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Charitable Trust. The register does not show individual salaries; senior pay is disclosed in the trustees' annual report and accounts.
