Abilities Incorporated
Financial data as at June 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Our scorecard uses a different template for different kinds of charity — an operating charity is measured differently from an endowment or a grant-making trust. This charity's type has not yet been classified, so a letter grade is withheld rather than assigned using a template chosen by default. That says nothing about the charity itself. Its filed figures are shown above, and it will be graded once its type is classified.
How ratings work →Reasons to look carefully (1)
These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.
- No chair recorded on the registerNo chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 5. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.
Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
