MASSED MIGHT OF MENTALLY CHALLENGED
A true charity heavyweight, this membership-based outfit continued to flex its muscles in 2006 (its 60th year), influencing government policy as well as continuing to help people with learning disabilities through every stage of their lives. Attracting serious government income, it supports hundreds of local groups (some registered as separate charities). The Quality of Reporting score is a big improvement over last year's effort.

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?
|
Super size |
|
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?
|
£100k to £149k |
|
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?
|
1 month |
|
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. |
But don't take our word for it...
