STRONG REPORTING FROM NORTHERN CARERS

This charity helps adults and children suffering from serious and/or incurable illnesses. It does this by providing specialist care services at its hospice and day-centre, as well as providing care for patients in their own homes. In 2007-08 it cared for 196 people at its inpatient unit, and began planning for a new day-centre. The informative annual report answers most of our questions, but should tell us more about the charity's performance against operational and financial targets set during the year.

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? 		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? 		£100k to £149k
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.
We take no cut
