HELPING DISADVANTAGED ROMANIAN KIDS

This outfit provides help for seriously ill children in the Balkans, with its activities focused in Romania. It runs hospices, a school, and a therapy centre for disabled kids, amongst much else. It's also got big plans to develop its services across the region. But its annual report is a disappointment. Although it contains admirable detail of the year's activities, there's no evidence that the charity sets itself performance targets, and its medium-term plans are vague.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this? 		50 %
How much info does the charity want to share? This score, taken from our search for 43 key points in the annual report, gives the answer. Top mark is 100%. Anything over 70% is a good effort.

SIZE OF CHARITY...

What is this? 		Small
We only profile the largest charities in England & Wales, and our sizes are relative to the largest and smallest among them. So where we describe a charity as 'Small', it is still much larger than the national average.

HIGHEST SALARY

What is this? 		Under £60k
Taken from the vague bandings given in annual reports; note that 'Under £60k' could be £9k or £59k. Nonetheless the number of bars should roughly correlate with the 'Size of charity' bars.

ETHICAL INVESTMENT POLICY

What is this? 		Yes
We asked the charity if it has an ethical investment policy. If yes, it gets an angel. Those with no policy but which don't invest in tobacco/arms get a halo. Those without investments, or who didn't respond, appear neutral. Those with stakes in arms/tobacco get a fallen angel.
We take no cut
