We are happy to release the slides for the latest of our research into trust in charities.

The time has come again to reflect on the last 12 months and thank our clients and partners for inspiring us to keep researching topical issues in the sector with 12 free reports.

We carried out our first National Trustee Survey in September this year, working with Third Sector magazine and the Charity Futures programme. All the charts are available on this page to download for free.

Our latest research looks at what encourages people to give to charity – the flip-side of our last research two weeks ago which looked at what put people off giving.

At nfpSynergy we have been tracking the proportion of the UK public that volunteer for over ten years. This free report reveals some of our most interesting findings.

Our latest research with the public has revealed that public irritation with fundraisers has declined. 

There are over 160,000 charities in the UK, benefiting a wide range of causes from hospices to international development. We explore facts and figures to try and determine which of these causes appeal most to the general public, but find that the outcome depends on the criteria used.

The latest wave of nfpSynergy research in trust in charities and other public institutions shows that charities have recovered from the media coverage in the second half of 2015. 

Below are the key findings. Please download the full report for more details.

In 2008 we published the first Mission Impossible report, which brought together over 80 vision and mission statements from a range of  non-profit

This report aims to provide information about public views on ideal charity spending, the importance of CEO pay in the public eye as well as the public’s perceptions about which activities count as ‘charitable’.

There are three main conclusions:

• Recruitment of events manager will boost activity for training and development of volunteer managers
• Growth in AVM activity will support growing demand for support and development of volunteer manager professionalisation
