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 The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited a good charity? +
The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited scores 62 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 73% of its spending goes to charitable activities and its accounts are late. 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 Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited a legitimate charity? +
Yes — The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1095695). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1095695. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.
What is The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's charity number? +
The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's charity number is 1095695. 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 Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's charity rating? +
The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited scores 62 out of 100 on CharityCompare (3 stars — Needs improvement). 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 Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (3 filing concern(s) noted 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 Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited? +
According to its 2024 regulator filing, 73% of The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's total spending went to charitable activities.

What are The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's overheads? +
According to its 2024 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 27% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 10% of total expenditure at The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Nw) Limited's chief executive is paid — where disclosure rules apply, senior pay appears in the trustees' annual report on the Charity Commission register.

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.
