ARCHED EYEBROWS FOR COMEDY ANNUAL REPORT

This grant-making charity, fronted by the cheese-loving comdedy duo, helps children in hospices and hospitals across the UK. In 2007-8 it awarded nearly £183,000 in grants, £10,000 of which went towards creting a 'Play Zone' at St. James's University Hospital in Leeds. But the annual report is a disappointment. It lacks any operational or financial targets, and needs to say more about the projects its funding. For the third year in a row, the comedy duo have delivered a comedy annual report.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
41 %
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?
Small
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.
