MINIMUM INFO FROM LONDON RESEARCH FUNDER

Funding research at the Institute of Urology at London's University College keeps this pint-sized outfit very busy - if its threadbare report is anything to go by. A perky website almost makes up for it, and we would hope the problem is with communication, not with the work itself.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
40%
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?
11 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?
No investments
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.
The charity replies
As a small charity we focus on our aims and keep admin to a minimum. However, our 2005/6 report does carry more detail than before and will be expanded for 2006/7.
We take no cut
