THE PERSONAL TOUCH FOR LONELY FOLK
Based around local groups of volunteers - who gave 23,926 hours of support in 2006/7 - this non-preaching Catholic charity helps ill, lonely, addicted and disabled people, primarily by paying them regular visits - offering help, financial advice and a listening ear. This year saw the launch of a new healthy-eating café in Leeds and a debt-counselling service in Newcastle. The annual report is detailed, but doesn't reveal the charity's plans for the future.

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? |
 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? |
 9 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. |
