STROKE AUTHORITY STILL GOING STRONG

This is the UK's only national charity dedicated to stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation for sufferers of all ages. In 2007/08, it supported over 23,000 people across the UK via its Helpline and Information Service, invested over £2 million in stroke research, and ran over 6,000 communication support group sessions. Its very impressive report could be even better if it included more detail of the charity's future plans.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this? 		84 %
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? 		Large
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? 		£80k to £99k
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? 		Yes
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
