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.
The 12 Reports of Christmas 2014
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!
The Six Reports of Summer
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:
The Politics of Charities
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 Digital Fundraising
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?
What do the public think about charity costs and CEOs salaries?
This is a presentation of our data on the public's opinion about charity spending. We also have a video of this presentation here, presented by Joe Saxton, with some great insight and explanation of what the data means for charities.
When concern stops tracking reality
nfpResearch co-Managing Director, Tim Harrison-Byrne, writes:
On 21 May, the ONS published its latest net migration estimate: 171,000 for the year ending December 2025. That is an 82% fall from the 2023 peak of 944,000. In our nfpIntelligence tracking, public concern about immigration has risen from 17% to 39% over the same period.
On climate, the pattern runs in reverse. Concern peaked at 40% in 2021 and has since fallen to 22%, while the evidence for a worsening climate has only strengthened.

We are sitting in purgatory between knowing the Iran war will affect living costs and not knowing the intensity of the impact. While there is uncertainty around what is to come, we have the past to call back on. nfpResearch has been tracking donation trends in the UK for decades, meaning we have seen the impact of war-driven inflation costs on charitable giving intentions. Most recently, we monitored the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war.
