Our latest UK Giving report shows that older people are more likely to participate with charities. In fact 90% of over 65s said they donated, sponsored or gave goods to charity last year, compared to 76% of 16-24 yr olds. More insights here: fal.cn/3xZDp

(4/4) Take a deep dive into UK charitable giving behaviours in the 2023 edition of the CAF UK Giving Report: cafonline.org/about-us/publi

(3/4) Those aged 35- 54 were most likely to indicate they’d cut donations to charity to help manage bills (22%). This age group was also more likely to say they’d cut overall expenditure (75% vs. 69% average)

(2/4) 24% of people reported changing their charitable behaviours, including reducing or cancelling a regular charity donation (5%), and not making a one-off donation (10%).

(1/4) The cost-of-living crisis has had a big impact on giving. Our new research reveals that across 2022 69% of people said they'd need to cut spending to manage bills, including 17% who would likely cut charitable donations #UKgivingreport
