The source, and how we filtered it

Source The 1,000 largest UK charities by income, Charity Commission for England and Wales; Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator; Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (2026-11-02 (all three extracts))
LicenseOpen Government Licence v3.0 for all three.

How we filtered itCharity Commission extract: status Registered, main charities only, ranked on latest income. OSCR: every charity except cross-border ones, ranked on most recent year's income. CCNI: every charity not removed, ranked on total income. The three are ranked together; a name on more than one register counts once, on the register where its income is largest. Excluded as other cohorts' members: names saying university, school, college (except the learned Royal Colleges) or NHS, and the independent hospital providers in uk-nhs; a few decided by hand, with reasons in the script. Ranks closed up. The address is each register's own website field.

The filtering is ours and is disclosed as ours. The source published a list; the decision about which rows of it belong in a cohort was a judgment call, and it is written down so somebody can disagree with it.

By dimension

What the cohort earns, dimension by dimension

The mean share of each dimension’s available points that this cohort earned. Low here means the whole sector is weak on it, not that one site dragged an average down. The per-site spread is in the dataset.

How much of each site we read

The cap is 32 URLs and it is a ceiling, not a promise. A portal whose every link points at a different host yields one page; a university yields the full sample. The median here is 32, the range 1–32, published so that "we sampled 32 URLs per site" cannot become a claim the data does not support.

10 sites in this cohort served a certificate we could not verify. They were read anyway and scored normally, because reporting no response for a site every browser loads would describe our TLS stack rather than the site, and each one carries the finding in its row.

Every site

Every 1,000, named, with a report for each

Whether or not it has been scanned. Rows with no website on record, sites that were unreachable and sites that turned us away stay in the table with the reason on them, and none of them enters an average: dropping them would shrink the population to the part that was easy to measure. A few points between two neighbors is noise. The box filters every row in the cohort, not only the page you are on; click a header to sort the rows on this page by name or by score.
