LILLIPUTIAN TEAM STRIVES FOR OLYMPIC GOAL

A tiny charity with the grand aim of promoting the Olympics and encouraging participation in the UK, largely through events and sports camps in association with similar organisations like the Youth Sports Trust. Has close ties with, and is largely funded by, the British Olympic Association. The patchy report doesn't say how many children it is inspiring with its healthy Olympic message, nor what it plans to do with its substantial reserves.

QUALITY OF REPORTING

What is this?
60 %
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?
34 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.
We take no cut
