We are delighted to launch our first dedicated report into charitable giving in Wales.
Wales Giving includes some bright spots. We found that Welsh people are more willing to respond to seasonal charity appeals than the UK as a whole. And there is a robust level of participation in charitable or social activities undertaken by the Welsh.
But the report also identifies some trouble spots. Such as a lower rate of people claiming the Gift Aid credit in Wales than elsewhere and overall smaller amounts being given, most likely reflecting lower average earnings.
Our hope here at CAF is that this information will help raise public awareness of some of the challenges facing charities and also assist charities by identifying areas where they might be able to direct resources in order to raise even more for good causes.
