WE HOPE IT BITES LOUDER THAN IT BARKS
This animal welfare giant provides neutering, microchipping and rehoming services for pets, responds to emergency situations and campaigns on a variety of issues, from pest control to chicken farming. It is also the umbrella body for 175 local RSPCA organisations. 2006 saw a major lobbying success with the passage of the Animal Welfare Act, but for a charity of this size, we would except the annual report to be much clearer.

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this?
|
 70%
|
|
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?
|
Extra 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?
|
£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. |
RESERVES WOULD LAST...
What is this?
|
21 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?
|
 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 take our word for it...
