[Learning Partnerships](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/charity/learning-partnerships) (charity 1003603) is a Leeds education and community organisation. Latest scored accounts (year to 2025) show income of **£688k** — under the £1m hidden-gem ceiling — and a Clarity Score of **95 (5★ Exceptional)**.

That score is about **how clearly the accounts are kept**, not whether the programmes work. The filings snapshot:

- **99%** of expenditure on charitable activities (three-year average)

- **2p** to raise £1 of income

- **eight** trustees and **no late filings** over five years

- **74 volunteers** alongside 19 staff

The notable caveat is **reserves: about two months**. Full marks on that metric start at three months, which is why the overall score is 95 rather than 100. A high Clarity Score with thin reserves is still a useful signal: the paperwork is strong, but a single bad year would bite harder than it would at a national brand.

Compare it with [NSPCC vs Barnardo’s](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/compare/nspcc-vs-barnardos) on **model and place**, not only on stars. Those organisations operate at a different scale. A Leeds education charity is a local job; a national children’s brand is not a substitute for it, and the reverse is also true.
