Why is there no Clarity Score for Disability Positive yet?

The register facts and available annual-return disclosures above remain useful. Payment never influences a rating. How scoring works

What should you check before donating to Disability Positive?

  • Read the charity’s annual report for its work and results. An unrated profile means we lack a full assessment; it is not a negative rating.
