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:

The idea that the information the public wants should be both available and easily accessible has been encapsulated in a new buzzword - transparency. Since the CEO salary media storm back in 2013, many charities claimed they're now transparent. But is this really the case? How long does it take to find out a CEO's salary or how much a charity spends on admin?
The Clore Social Leadership Programme aims to develop and connect aspiring leaders in the social sector who are working for the benefit of individuals and communities across the UK. nfpSynergy has been supporting Clore fellows on their research projects through a mixture of research.

This is a report we wrote to compare the "social media presence" (index reflecting Facebook ‘likes’, Twitter ‘followers’ and YouTube ‘subscribers’) of all UK charities. The report also analyses the Top 50 UK charities by fundraised income - comparing the Top 25 of those against the 25 most popular UK shops, and the Top 25 FTSE companies by market capitalization.
How do top charities compare with private sector giants? And is there a correlation between a charity’s income and its social media presence? Read on.
At nfpResearch, we believe that high-quality insights should be accessible to organisations of all sizes—especially small charities that are often closest to the issues but furthest from the resources. Building on the success of our first Small Charity Research Award, we are delighted to announce that we are launching a second round today.
Reflecting on Round One
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.
From all of us here on the nfpResearch team, we want to say:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
