Common questions about The Office of Health Economics's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is The Office of Health Economics a good charity? +
The Office of Health Economics scores 58 out of 100 (2 stars — Poor) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 62% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-yr avg) 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 Office of Health Economics a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists The Office of Health Economics as a registered charity (charity number 1170829). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1170829&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 Office of Health Economics's charity number? +

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).

Does The Office of Health Economics have reviews and complaints? +
