The recent loss of a dedicated charities minister is just another example of government disinterest towards the charity sector. But where does this leave its relationship with charities?

In this week’s blog we look into some of the key findings from our latest wave of research with MPs around Covid-19 and what MPs think the charity sector should be prioritising going forward.

This week, we discuss charities that have tailored their messaging to appeal to issues that are high on the political agenda to effectively capture the attention of politicians within the devolved nations. 

This is the second report in our series looking at trust in society and why it matters.

The divergent pathways taken by governments across the United Kingdom towards the handling of the pandemic has illustrated the increased strength and identity of the devolved nations. This week Peter Dawson reflects on the implications of this divergence on the charity sector and asks how charities can adapt to an increasingly parochial public sphere.

In this week's blog, Research Assistant Max Roche delves into some of our Charity Parliamentary Monitor research with MPs to investigate the relationship between charities, government, and celebrities.

This week's blog analyses the results from our fourth wave of research with the general public on the Coronavirus and charities. We analyse the change in public attitudes, including issues of concern, trust in sources of information and willingness to support charities.
