Last year, we explored the strong outpouring of support for the victims of the war in Ukraine. Nearly half of the general public reported taking action to help refugees or those still in the country in April 2022. This was a spectacular indicator of the dedication to philanthropy that we see again and again in the British public – but we identified a concerning trend in their giving.

In 2020, NHS Charities Together raised £150m. In 2019, under a different name, it raised £388,000. That is a 38000% increase. I’m sure there is a story to be told by the charity on how you cope with such an unbelievable increase, which is surely unprecedented in the voluntary sector?
We are finally at the most wonderful time of the year, especially for fundraising as it’s the season of giving. In this week's blog, we take you through some great charity campaigns and events that have impressed us this festive season.
Last year, we released our ‘Going Viral’ report, exploring the initial response to the Covid-19 outbreak by charities. This is the second year of Covid-19, and it was time to revisit and delve into the experiences of charities in the sector again to take a longer-term perspective on the pandemic and its impact on the sector.
Charities helping man’s best friend have given us examples of paws-itively wonderful campaigns and initiatives.
For this International Dog Day, we’re sharing some of these examples of creative campaigning and ingenious fundraising with you.
