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!
Number of young volunteers has nearly doubled over the last decade
Over a quarter of UK adults say they have volunteered in the last three months
"It’s particularly good that young people are finally becoming more involved in volunteering. Charities have to make sure the idea appeals to a variety of ages and isn’t just stereotyped as elderly people staffing charity shops and tombolas." Joe Saxton, Driver of Ideas at nfpSynergy
Awareness of charities begins at a young age
Patterns of adult charity awareness and engagement formed over teenage years, new research shows
"Some charities may spend the next 20 years trying to catch up with the brand awareness and levels of support being formed with others at school." Joe Saxton

Social Media League Table
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.
