Britain donated an estimated £14bn to charity last year, but that masks a dip in donations and a deeper shift in giving. A new report from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) finds 55% gave to charity last year, down from 69% a decade ago, leaving around 6m fewer donors. For years, the sector has relied on a shrinking group of supporters giving more. But with donations falling for the first time in 5 years, researchers warn that Britain’s culture of giving is becoming “increasingly fragile”.
