UK GIVING REPORT 2021

CAF’s UK Giving research is the largest study of giving behaviour in the UK, interviewing a representative sample of the public each month with the goal of assisting charities, Government and wider society to better understand the UK’s giving landscape. In October 2020, CAF released a UK Giving Covid-19 Special Report into the giving trends monitored in the first stages of the global pandemic.

This report marks the continuation of CAF examination of the impact of Covid-19 on the UK Giving landscape. It is based on monthly online interviews throughout 2020, and includes more recent polling in 2021 as restrictions began to lift (c. 22,000 interviews in total). Some longer term trend analysis is also included, using monthly data collected since May 2016.
