HOLIDAYS FOR THE DISABLED AND THEIR CARERS
With more than 40 years' experience providing short breaks to disabled people and their carers, this outfit seems ready for another 40 years of successful work. In 2007 it overcome the previous year's financial problems, continued to provide what look like high-quality services and expanded its activities into the North-West. The annual report addresses donors' concerns in a clear and concise way.

QUALITY OF REPORTING
What is this? |
 75 % |
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? |
 £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? |
 13 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. |
