DISAPPOINTING REPORT FROM BUSY CHARITY
Nurturing a national support network with over 150 volunteers drawn from patients and relatives, as well providing informative booklets, newsletters and other publications - not to mention a quirky website - this small charity seems to lead a busy life. But its annual report is disappointing: it gives very little information on how the charity is run, and contains scant financial commentary.

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this?
|
 49%
|
|
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?
|
Small |
|
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?
|
12 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?
|
 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. |
But don't take our word for it...
