A Chance to Give – How lotteries for charities and good causes could raise more money, but regulation is holding them back

Joe Saxton – Driver of Ideas, nfpSynergy

The deregulation of charity lotteries has been an issue for decades. Joe Saxton looks at the results of our research into how regulation affects the lottery landscape, conducted with people from across the sector. He also details our recommendations for ensuring this key fundraising tool is no longer stifled by disproportionate regulation.

Youth Engagement

Patrick and Amina look at what influences young people, how they engage with charities and their awareness of different issues. They compare it to how young people interact with charities and their social media channels, giving you a great overview of how and where to connect with your future stakeholders.

Building Trust and Confidence in your Charity

Joe Saxton – Driver of Ideas, nfpSynergy

Trust and confidence in charities is as vital as it is volatile. Given that charities don't sell a tangible product to maintain people's trust, it can be difficult to build and maintain, but it is essential to keep donors believing in the sector and to overcome their reasons for not giving.

Joe's presentation features a raft of our data on trust in institutions and public barriers to donating. It provides an excellent opportunity to find out why people decide not to give and how charities and the sector as a whole can win, and crucially keep, the trust of the donors that fund them.
