Report: Brits still dig deep for charities

It seems as though Christmas 2008 remained to be a time to think of others for Britons, with many consumers spending more on other people than they have in previous years, according to a new study.

Report: Brits still dig deep for charities”

Published by the Institute of Fundraising and the Charities Aid Foundation, the research showed more than half (58 per cent) of charity Christmas appeals raised as much as they did in 2007, or even more than the preceding year in some cases.

Lindsay Boswell, chief executive of the Institute of Fundraising, stated the findings are "great news" as some charities were worried they would see a fall in donations prior to the festive period.

John Low, chief executive at the Charities Aid Foundation, added: "This shows that the UK is still one of the most generous nations in the world and many people are continuing to think of others."

Providers which offer charity credit cards include the Co-operative Bank, which has partnerships with organisations including Shelter, Greenpeace and Help The Aged.
