STORMY TIMES FOR ENVIRONMENT ADVISORS

Despite relying on loans and an overdraft to stay afloat, this charity still seems busy encouraging people to be more environmentally aware. It helped cut CO2 emissions by 4,240 tonnes in 2006/7 and its work prevented 922 tonnes of rubbish being sent to landfill in the same period. The detailed annual report includes a frank disclosure of the charity's financial troubles, although it would be good to know where future income will come from.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this? 		76%
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? 		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.

RESERVES WOULD LAST...

What is this? 		-1 months
If income dried up, how long could work continue? 3-12 months is normal. Less may be precarious. 12+ months may be over-cautious (or if very high, may represent the value of the charity's property).

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
