Episode description:

CAF’s UK Giving research is the largest study of charitable giving in the UK, with survey responses from a representative sample of the public each month. Around 13,000 responses were received in total. Some longer-term trend analysis is also included, using data collected over the past five years. This year’s report offers insights into how the cost-of-living crisis is impacting donations, and how the landscape has changed since the pandemic, seemingly permanently.

In this episode we discuss the findings in the report including trends in charitable giving in the UK. We also hear about the giving behaviour of high new worth individual philanthropists who CAF work with and we consider what all this means for charities now and in the future.
