What the charity does
In June 2007, The Shaftesbury Society merged with John Grooms, a fellow Christian charity providing care, support and holiday services for disabled people; from that date we transferred our activities together with those of John Grooms to Grooms-Shaftesbury, now formally known as Livability, creating the largest Christian disability charity in the country.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Shaftesbury Society is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
