BUTTERFLY AND MOTH SAVIOUR FLYING HIGH

This thriving outfit champions butterfly and moth conservation. Its annual report lays out in detail a whole range of achievements, from getting the government to recognize butterflies as biodiversity indicators, to launching its biggest-yet South-east woodlands-conservation initiative, to seeing populations of the Heath Fritillary and Silver-spotted Skippers increase. The annual report is - as it is every year - impressive, but should give more detail of the charity's long-term plans.

QUALITY OF REPORTING What is this?	73 %
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?	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.
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 just take our word for it...
