Financial data as at January 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
NR
Not rated — Summary-form filing — not enough detail to grade
Charities Services Tier 3/4 reporting allows smaller charities to file a summary annual-return form rather than separately audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $1M threshold at which audited accounts are expected. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above.
