RAPID GROWTH FOR PROSTATE PIONEERS

This outfit seems to be riding the crest of a wave: it's expanding rapidly, gaining an ever-higher public profile, and spending increasing amounts of cash on both research into prostate cancer, and help for people with the condition. 2007-08 was a particularly successful year. The charity put on a well-received play by Benjamin Zephaniah, designed to promote awareness of prostate cancer among black men (who are particularly likely to receive a diagnosis), and raised over £1m from the 'Movember' sponsored moustache-growing event. The transparent annual report is a joy to read.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this? 		73 %
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? 		Medium
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? 		£80k to £99k
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? 		Unknown
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
