Cancer Treatment and Research Trust, The

SOLID RESULTS FROM RETICENT RESEARCHERS

A tiny charity that funds researchers at Charing X Hospital and the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Middlesex, whose work contributed to over 20 peer-reviewed articles (ie credible research results) in the year. The annual report gives clear clinical detail on the work that has been funded but offers lamentably little information about how the outfit runs or where it is headed. The website lists the kinds of cancers it is targetting.

QUALITY OF REPORTING What is this?	36%
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.
RESERVES WOULD LAST... What is this?	25 months
If income dried up, how long could work continue? 3-12 months is normal. Less may be precarious. 12+ months may be over-cautious (or if very high, may represent the value of the charity's property).
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.

But don't take our word for it...
