ABOUT US

Public Affairs and Policy

We use our expertise in philanthropy and charitable giving to amplify the charity sector’s voice and needs, working with government, policy makers and regulators to bring about change.

We’re here to change what ‘good’ looks like

We are CAF – the charity specialists. We understand the challenges charities face and we know how to unlock the potential of charitable giving in the UK. We speak from the data we gather every day, and the experience we’ve gained since we started in 1924 to bring about real, lasting change.

Our connections to policy makers, charities and donors give us a uniquely rounded perspective. Help us bring about the positive change the world needs to see.
