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.
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.
Key findings:
It's Christmas time and as per tradition we're giving away 12 more of our reports. They address key issues like lobbying, fundraising and trust, plus a couple of niche ones like Gift Aid and media spending. Enjoy!
We've been sending out quite a few free reports recently, so we thought we'd put them all in one convenient place. Here's a preview of what's available:
What do the public think about charities having the right to lobby? And what does it mean to MPs and journalists for charities to 'be political'?
Global communication has opened up new opportunities to engage with communities and key audiences. So what does this mean for non-profits in different environments?
This report asks: does the number of people who have a medical condition or a disability dictate the size of charities that support them?
In 2010, the think tank Demos published a report entitled ‘Dying for Change’ highlighting some of the challenges facing hospices in the future. Help the Hospices responded to this by setting up the Commission into the Future of Hospice Care to provide guidance, information and options for hospices to inform their strategic position and offerings in the next 10 to 20 years.
As part of our work with Help The Hospices, we held a conference for representatives from the industry to discuss the future of hospice funding and other issues facing the sector. We had many attendees from up and down the country, with our insightful presentations provoking some excellent debate among those present.
Our presentation on the Future Trends for Hospices is now available for download on this page.
Over the coming months, our free report will be available here as well, complete with conclusions and points raised by everyone at the conference.
Hamlin Fistula UK is on a mission to increase their fundraising efforts to support more women in Ethiopia who are suffering from the devastating effects of obstetric fistula and other preventable childbirth injuries. To help achieve this goal, the charity successfully applied for the nfpResearch Small Charity Research Award, which offers organizations with an income under £1 million the opportunity to receive a comprehensive £10,000 research project at no cost.
