About Specialist Charities
There are over 161,000 registered charities in the UK, covering everything from emergency response and animal welfare to health, education and community support. Our quizzes introduce some of the most recognised organisations and highlight what they do, who they help and how their work is funded.
Start with international aid in the International Red Cross quiz, then explore support for veterans in The Royal British Legion. Animal lovers can learn about vital veterinary care in PDSA Animal Welfare, and coastal safety comes to life in the Royal National Lifeboat Institution quiz.
Each quiz offers quick, engaging questions that reinforce key facts about a charity’s mission, history and services. They’re great for home study, PHSE projects or simply building a broader understanding of how charities support people, communities and wildlife across the UK.
See the official Government guidance: Charietes Based in The UK.
