GETTING YOUNG MUSICIANS PERFORMING

Since this outfit's foundation in 1971 over two million children have taken part in its music-making events. In 2007, these ranged from its National Festival for Youth Music (which attracted 12,000 child performers alone) to its programme of concerts at major political-party conferences. The charity also provides training for people who work with young music-makers - all with the overall aim of making Britain a more musical society. But the brief annual report should explain how the charity will recover from a sharp drop in sponsorship income.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
60 %
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.
