BUSY YEAR FOR DISABLED KIDS' CHAMPION

This outfit aims to give disabled children the chance to live independent lives. While providing motorized wheelchairs, it operates a holistic service, giving training on wheelchair use, and offering general advice on living with a disability. In 2007 it also successfully lobbied for changes to government policy. The annual report gives a clear account of the charity's achievements, but more detail on what it has planned for the future would be the icing on the cake.

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?	£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.
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...
