That is a specialist education model, not a general children’s services charity. Compare it with NSPCC vs Barnardo’s only after you have decided you want this kind of work funded. See the children’s cause review.
The 2025 snapshot:
- 95% cause spend (disclosed years)
- 11 months of reserves
- 20 volunteers and 8 staff
- eight trustees, filings up to date, no late filings
High scores on small specialist charities are common when the accounts are simple and filed on time. They are not a substitute for reading what the year actually involved, and they are not a ranking of whose work “matters more.” Information only.
