CLASS ACT FROM AID GIANT

This is the UK wing of the worldwide anti-poverty crusader and emergency-aid distributer. It aims to defeat poverty by helping poor people (especially women) to stand up for their rights, and raises awareness of poverty and lobbies the government to help poor countries. The annual report lacks sufficient detail about the charity's performance targets and long-term plans, but it is clearly written and remarkably candid.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
73 %
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?
£60k to £79k
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.
