UK Charities Win Back the Love of the People: A New Era of Philanthropy and Trust
[London, UK] – In a remarkable turn of events, UK charities have managed to regain the trust and affection of the general public, marking a significant shift in the way people perceive and support non-profit organizations.
According to a recent survey conducted by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), a staggering 85% of Brits now have a positive view of charities, up from a low of 67% in 2015. This resurgence in public confidence is attributed to a combination of factors, including improved transparency, increased accountability, and a renewed focus on delivering tangible results.
The shift in public perception is attributed to the tireless efforts of charity leaders, who have worked tirelessly to reform and revamp their organizations to better serve the needs of donors and beneficiaries alike. Key initiatives have included:
- Increased transparency: Charities have made significant strides in providing clear and concise information about their funding, governance, and operations, fostering a culture of openness and trust.
- Improved accountability: Many charities have implemented robust systems for monitoring and evaluating their work, ensuring that donations are used effectively and efficiently.
- Tangible results: By focusing on delivering measurable outcomes, charities have demonstrated their impact and value to the public, inspiring renewed trust and support.
- Collaboration and partnerships: Charities have formed powerful alliances with other organizations, government agencies, and businesses, amplifying their reach and influence.
- Emphasis on storytelling: By sharing powerful stories of hope, resilience, and transformation, charities have been able to reconnect with the public on a deeper level, evoking emotions and inspiring action.
"Charities have worked hard to regain the trust of the public, and it’s fantastic to see this renewed confidence in the sector," said a spokesperson for the CAF. "By being transparent, accountable, and focused on delivering results, charities have demonstrated their value and importance in society."

In a report published by the charity commission on July 18th 2024, statistics show that the overall trust and confidence in charities among the public rose to 6.5 out of 10 from 6.3 in 2023.
Research also shows that this is against a background of declining trust in many social institutions, by comparison to which, trust in charities appears to have improved.
However, serious incidents and whistleblowing have risen with 3,106 new serious incident reports last year, compared to 2,969 in 2022-23, and some 561 whistleblowing reports were received, compared to 301 the year before.
Orlando Fraser, chair of the Commission writes in the forward: “Much has shifted for the sector, and the Commission over the past 12 months, and there is no doubt much change ahead – social, political, cultural. “But I am certain that charities’ role in our society will only continue to grow. Charities are, and will remain, at the beating heart of every community across England and Wales. “Their success rests not least on effective regulation that upholds and promotes public trust and support for charities. I know we have risen to that challenge this year, and am confident we will again, in the year ahead.”
