Give and Take: why is it so hard to measure public giving in the UK?
This week's blog looks at the findings from our latest report on how to measure public giving and some of the pitfalls and challenges in doing so.
Do you have a healthy audience?
In our healthy audience report, we looked at 50 different health and disability conditions and the charities that work on the related cause. We were interested in examining the relationship between the number of people with a condition and the size of the largest charity supporting those affected.
A Healthy Audience
This 2019 report is based on updated research first conducted five years ago, in early 2014. The report looks at the relationship between the number of people with a particular medical condition or disability and the size of the largest charity supporting those affected. One of the key questions we try to answer is whether the number of people who have a condition determines the size of the charity associated with it. We have extended the report to include research looking at public perceptions of progress made by health charities.
