Full analysis
Overview
This website is an informational event and fundraising page for The Big Hearted Valentines Ball, presenting past event details, sponsorship opportunities, photographs, and support for NHS-related causes. Its apparent model is community fundraising through event attendance, sponsorship, and donations rather than the sale of a commercial product or financial service.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed across the supplied evidence: there were no phishing, impersonation, conflicting legal-identity, or malicious-content indicators. The homepage describes a specific past fundraising event, its NHS-support purpose, sponsors, event activities, and a donated medical device, while technical interaction testing found no login prompt, payment form, wallet activity, hidden form, cloaking, or suspicious external activity. The available historical record also shows continuity rather than suspicious repurposing. This supports an apparently legitimate, low-risk presentation, although it does not independently prove the real-world operator’s identity.
- The homepage identifies “The Big Hearted Valentines Ball,” describes the 15 February 2020 event, fundraising for NHS support, and the donation of a fibre-optic intubating laryngoscope to the Bristol Heart Institute.
- The homepage contains no login or sensitive form; behavioral testing recorded 0 external XHR/fetch requests, 0 hidden forms, 0 wallet-provider detections, and 0 clipboard-hijack events across 2 successful runs.
- Historical continuity covers 2019–2025: 29 archive snapshots across 7 years, with first seen 2019-01-11 and last seen 2025-04-19.
- Domain registration continuity is recorded at 7.61 years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site provides some substantive context through its reference to a constitution, fundraising activities, NHS support, sponsors, and a named trustee, Dr Chris Monk. Those statements are consistent with a community fundraising initiative but are not independent proof of the operator’s legal identity. The pages do not establish a licensing or registration status, and the available disclosure state is unclear; this is a verification matter rather than evidence of deception. No broker-dataset match was identified, and the available external reputation checks reported no malicious or suspicious detections, although coverage was partial.
- The homepage states that the constitution describes how the organisation works to help the NHS through fundraising events and identifies Dr Chris Monk as one of its trustees.
- The site is served from AS46606, Unified Layer, US.
- The transport certificate is issued by YR2, uses DV validation, and is valid to 2026-10-29.
- Available external checks recorded 0 malicious detections, 0 suspicious detections, and 0 abuse reports.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, independently confirm the organiser’s legal identity, any applicable charitable registration, the intended donation recipient, and the protections provided by the payment route. The relevant constitution, sponsorship, and event-information pages should be reconciled with an official public registry or an independently sourced organisational contact channel; applicable privacy, cancellation, refund, and payment-protection terms should also be reviewed.
- The homepage provides the stated fundraising purpose and trustee reference that can be checked against an independent public register.
- The site includes sponsorship and event-information pages but no detected sensitive transaction form, so any later payment destination should be validated separately before use.
Summary Verdict
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website with a high-trust and low-risk posture. The classification supports ordinary informational interaction, but it should not be treated as independent proof of the real-world operator’s identity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to one US-hosted address on AS46606, Unified Layer, with no CDN or WAF detected and a likely origin address directly visible. This is a straightforward hosting posture rather than an indicator of maliciousness; the valid DV certificate provides transport protection but does not authenticate the organisation behind the site.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary browsing is proportionate, while independent organiser-identity and payment-protection checks should be completed before submitting credentials or making a payment.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about bigheartedvalentinesball.co.uk at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
