Intelligent Giving

In their own words

"We are an independent British charity established in 1997 to bring a European voice to the International Rescue Committee global network. Working together, the IRC network of emergency relief workers, healthcare providers, educators, community leaders, activists and volunteers provides humanitarian aid, sanctuary and sustainable change for millions of people whose lives have been shattered by violence and oppression. Since its establishment, IRC-UK has grown rapidly and is now acknowledged for its high-quality project management and technical expertise. In addition to supporting relief and reconstruction programmes in Afghanistan, Burundi, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Guinea, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Nepal, Pakistan, Rwanda, the Northern Caucasus (Ingushetia and Chechnya), Sierra Leone, Sudan, Tanzania, Thailand and Uganda, it also plays an important role in advocacy, fundraising and public education on conflict-related issues in Britain and Europe."

SIZE OF CHARITY... What is this?	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?	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?	0 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).

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