[The Ben Kinsella Trust](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/charity/the-ben-kinsella-trust) (charity 1126612) is a London education charity focused on knife crime. Latest scored accounts (2025) show income of **£596k** and a Clarity Score of **100 (5★ Exceptional)** from Charity Commission filings.

That is a **specialist education** model, not a general children’s services charity. Compare it with [NSPCC vs Barnardo’s](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/compare/nspcc-vs-barnardos) only after you have decided you want this kind of work funded. See the [children’s cause review](https://www.charitycompare.org.uk/causes/children).

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.
