Common questions about Yorkshire Air Ambulance Limited's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Yorkshire Air Ambulance Limited a good charity? +
Yorkshire Air Ambulance Limited scores 77 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 71% 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 Yorkshire Air Ambulance Limited a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Yorkshire Air Ambulance Limited as a registered charity (charity number 1084305). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1084305&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money.

What is Yorkshire Air Ambulance Limited's charity number? +
