CAF UK GIVING REPORT 2019

Published annually, the CAF UK Giving Report is the largest study of giving behaviour. Here are some of the key findings from our 2019 report:

The proportion of people giving money to charity either by donating or via sponsorship has seen a steady decline between 2016 and 2018.
Trust in charities has decreased significantly since 2016.
Fewer people report that they are giving money, those who do give are giving higher amounts.
Overall, the total amount given to charity in 2018 remains largely the same as 2017 at £10.1 billion.
The number of people taking part in charitable activities has decreased.
In 2018 children/young people and animal welfare are join most popular causes.
