ANOTHER TOP PERFORMANCE FROM KIDS' GIANT

With a three-year plan to become the most influential children's charity in the country, this outfit is already one of the country's biggest. In 2007-08 it reached over 100,000 kids, with services ranging from family centres to short-break care services for children with disabilities. It also campaigned vigorously for legislative change to end to child poverty. The Quality of Reporting score has slipped slightly since last year, but still reflects an impressive level of transparency.

QUALITY OF REPORTING What is this?	76 %
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?	Super size
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?	Over £150k
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.

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