Common questions about The Power of Nutrition's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is The Power of Nutrition a good charity? +
The Power of Nutrition scores 75 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 78% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-yr avg) 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 Power of Nutrition a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists The Power of Nutrition as a registered charity (charity number 1160373). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1160373&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 Power of Nutrition's charity number? +
The Power of Nutrition's charity number is 1160373. 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 Power of Nutrition's charity rating? +
The Power of Nutrition scores 75 out of 100 on CharityCompare (4 stars — Good). 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 Power of Nutrition have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Power of Nutrition. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (one red flag on this profile: sharp income decline). 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 Power of Nutrition? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 78% of The Power of Nutrition's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).
