TARGETING THE WORST DISEASES
Despite its evocative name this charity has recently broadened its objectives to include the unmet health needs of people affected by Malaria, TB, AIDS and other poverty-related conditions. More than 300 million people worldwide are now beneficiaries of LEPRA's education, research and training programmes, and its medical services. The easy-to-read annual report seems to cover all the major areas of concerns for current and potential donors. But we have serious concerns about how LEPRA operates. Read more here. [0]

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this? |
 76 % |
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? |
 4 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. |
