Two of the key elements of our activities are the Friday Lunch Club and the twice weekly Community Cafe which have been operating since September 2022.

Why is there no Clarity Score for The YM yet?
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The YM is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
