HELPING PEOPLE WITH ALL LUNG CONDITIONS
A sizeable outfit which - alone in the UK - caters to every condition from asthma to lung cancer - and helps sufferers via a range of activities including patient-support groups. In 2006/7 a new membership scheme was launched to involve patients in the charity's doings. The report is reasonably forthcoming, features a complete description of the charity's achievements and targets, but suffers from lack of long-term plans.

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this? |
 68 % |
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? |
 £60k to £79k |
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? |
 3 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. |
