The Rotherwick Foundation is a registered charity (no. 1058900) working in disability in Reigate · RH18 5JR. Its latest Charity Commission filing does not disclose a charitable-activities spend split in recent filings, and files its annual accounts on time. Reported income changed sharply in 2024 (likely a merger, transfer or reporting change) — year-on-year trend labels are not meaningful across that step. CharityCompare's Clarity Score rates the organisation only from public Charity Commission accounts — accountability, financial health, efficiency and community support — not the quality or impact of its programmes. Summarised from public filings — The Rotherwick Foundation hasn't added its own description yet. [Work here?

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 →](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/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.

Is The Rotherwick Foundation a good charity? + The Rotherwick Foundation scores 46 out of 100 (2 stars — Poor) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Its recent filings do not disclose a charitable-activities spend split 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 Rotherwick Foundation a legitimate charity? + Yes — The Rotherwick Foundation is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 1058900). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1058900. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact. What is The Rotherwick Foundation's charity number? + The Rotherwick Foundation's charity number is 1058900. 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 Rotherwick Foundation's charity rating? + The Rotherwick Foundation scores 46 out of 100 on CharityCompare (2 stars — Poor). 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 Rotherwick Foundation have reviews and complaints? + CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Rotherwick Foundation. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (2 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 Rotherwick Foundation? + The Rotherwick Foundation does not disclose a charitable-activities spend split in its recent UK regulator filings, so there is no official figure for how much of a donation reaches the cause. CharityCompare reports this as "not disclosed" rather than assuming a number. What are The Rotherwick Foundation's overheads? + According to its 2025 regulator filing, fundraising costs were about 100% of total expenditure and combined overheads (fundraising plus governance) were about 67% of total expenditure at The Rotherwick Foundation. The filings CharityCompare uses do not publish CEO or senior-staff pay, so we cannot say what The Rotherwick Foundation's chief executive is paid — where disclosure rules apply, senior pay appears in the trustees' annual report on the Charity Commission register. How much income does The Rotherwick Foundation receive? + The Rotherwick Foundation reported £24m total income in its 2025 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: restructured. Are The Rotherwick Foundation's accounts up to date? + Filing status: up to date (last filing 2026-06-24). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score. Where is The Rotherwick Foundation based? + The Rotherwick Foundation is listed at Reigate · RH18 5JR, focused on disability. How does CharityCompare score The Rotherwick Foundation? + We calculate a Clarity Score of 0–100 from four pillars in The Rotherwick Foundation's regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 points — filing history, trustees, policies), Financial Health (30 — reserves, income trend, debt), Financial Efficiency (20 — cause spend and fundraising cost, on a graduated scale) and Community Support (10 — volunteer-to-staff ratio). 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 Rotherwick Foundation's most recent accounts cover 2025. Scores and figures refresh whenever we re-ingest the register, so the page reflects our latest data pull rather than a one-off review.
