HYPERACTIVE DISABILITY CAMPAIGNERS

A co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for its work on banning landmines, this UK branch of the international Handicap network more recently turned its attention to getting cluster-bombs banned. Beyond such lobbying work, in 2007 it stretched a tiny budget to fund disability-inclusion, education, and awareness projects in 60 countries by partnering with other organizations on the ground. The annual report lacks full commentary of the charity's finances, targets and plans.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this? 		63 %
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.
We take no cut
