OUT-OF-THE-BOX THINKERS
A young charity that, in the four years since its activities began, has helped some 500,000 people in 40+ countries by delivering special boxes containing equipment sufficient to sustain 10 people for six months. In 2006 5,000 boxes found their way to needy people. The report is thin: we'd particularly like to see more financial commentary and information about future plans.

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this? |
67 % |
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...
ShelterBox provides shelter, warmth and comfort for people displaced by disasters.
Each ‘ShelterBox’ generally holds a 10-person tent and other material to help an extended family survive for six months minimum (precise contents vary according to need).
Boxes cost £490 – including all materials, packing, storage and distribution worldwide. Every ShelterBox is individually numbered and donors can track where they are sent.
Since 2001, ShelterBox has helped nearly 500,000 people – working in more than 30 countries.
