REPAIRING WAR-TORN COMMUNITIES
This small Christian outfit works with people affected by conflict in poor countries. Celebrating its fortieth anniversary in 2007, it spent the year working with major players like the UN in war-zones from Darfur to Cambodia. Eye-catchingly, in all this CORD placed an emphasis on gender equality, preserving the environment, and attempting to reduce the reasons for conflict erupting in the first place. All this sounds admirable, but we'd like to see evidence of long-term plans and performance targets in the charity's annual report.
QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this? |
56 % |
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. |
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. |
But don't just take our word for it...
