VENERABLE KIDS' CARER KEEPS WITH THE TIMES

This, the oldest children's charity of its kind, shows no signs of slowing down as it enters its 270th year. In 2007-08, it found families for a record 82 orphaned children, and launched what it says is the first family drug-and-alcohol court, which aims to address the problem of parental drug and alcohol misuse. It also ran a variety of other services, all designed to help disadvantaged children and young people. The annual report gives exemplary detail of the year's achievements, but should say more about the charity's future projects, and how it's going to fund them.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
64 %
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?
£80k to £99k
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.
