NEW IMAGE FOR CHRISTIAN AID-WORKERS

Of all the big international-aid charities, this is the most evangelical. It works with its solid network of local Christian organizations and churches in poor countries to provide development programmes and disaster relief. In May 2007 it re-branded with a new logo and new mission, calling for its supporters to "be part of a miracle". The annual report is admirably transparent, but would benefit from more evidence of target setting.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
70 %
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?
Extra 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?
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.
