COMMUNITY SUPPORTER EASES OUR CONCERNS

In 2007/08 this outfit worked with 61 partner charities in 12 countries, providing a range of development projects . Over 1.5 million people benefited from its work, including more than 10,000 young Colombians who were trained in HIV/AIDS prevention, and 45,000 people in Malawi who gained access to safe water and sanitation. A thorough annual report answers most of our questions, but we'd still like to know more about the charity's longer-terms future plans.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
71 %
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.
