The Register of Charities for England and Wales is kept by the Charity Commission and records registered charities together with their purposes, trustees, reported income and expenditure, filing history and any regulatory action taken against them. A full register extract is published for download.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Open Both the search and individual charity entries are served without an account or sign-in step. A sign-in link exists, but it is for charities filing with the Commission rather than for public searching.
The register can be searched free of charge and without an account, and individual charity entries are equally open.
Entries carry trustees, reported income and expenditure, financial history, filing status and any regulatory action the Commission has taken.
A daily full-register extract is published for download, so the whole dataset is reusable rather than only viewable.
It is kept by an independent, non-ministerial government department accountable to Parliament.
Limitations
It covers England and Wales only. Scotland and Northern Ireland keep their own registers, and a charity working across the United Kingdom may appear on two or three.
It is not a complete list of charitable organisations. Exempt charities, excepted charities and very small charities need not register, so absence does not prove a body is not charitable.
Much of the published detail is self-reported by the charity, so it records what was declared rather than what was independently audited.
Export from the search interface is capped, so bulk users are directed to the separate full-register download.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
