This week's blog is a sobering account of the UK general public's attitudes towards refugees, asylum seekers, and overseas aid and development charities. We share some data from our Charity Awareness Monitor research with the general public.
We examine the characteristics of two charities who have performed well during the pandemic, and suggest what other charities could learn from them.
Our blog this week explores the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on minority ethnic communities and grassroots organisations. We also share some data from our work with under-researched audiences (including Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups).
It is well known that Black, Asian and other ethnic minority communities are largely under-researched in the charity sector (and beyond). In 2019, we established a yearly research syndicate to explore how these audiences engage with charities. In this free report, we release some of the key findings from our November 2019 - January 2020 research.
This weekend we continued our series of polls to understand public reactions to the pandemic and charities. Case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths have all increased dramatically since our previous wave of fieldwork so now is a particularly important moment to try and gauge how the public is feeling. Explore our results in this week's blog.
The LGBTQ+ community remain largely under-researched in the charity sector. We recently ran a survey to learn more about how and why some LGBTQ+ identifying people engage with charities.
We know certain groups and communities have experienced the coronavirus pandemic differently. So what about different nations? In this week's blog, we look at opinions in the devolved nations of Scotland and Wales, examining attitudes towards the handling of the pandemic and the charity sector itself.

In May we saw a number of public bodies, such as the NHS, reach a peak in our measures of public trust. Charities, worryingly, seem to buck that trend. In this week's blog, Cian Murphy reflects on the potential reasons behind this and the implications for the sector:
Our Charity Brand Evaluator (CBE) is a biannual survey dedicated exclusively to charity brands. In this week's blog, we highlight some key findings from the latest wave of research.
