IT TICKS OUR BOXES
Relatively few people suffer from cystic fibrosis in the UK (only 7,500), which means that this charity finds fundraising difficult - and expensive. Even so, it invests £3.5 million a year in gene-therapy research, and provides lots of information and advice to people affected by the disease. Its telephone helpline alone recieves over 3,000 calls a year. A clear and concise annual report ticks almost all of our boxes.

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this?
|
 82%
|
|
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?
|
Large |
|
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?
|
£80k to £99k |
|
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?
|
5 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. |
But don't take our word for it...
