Brits bringing Christmas Cheer!

In a recent survey of our members, we found that over half (56.5%) of Brits are more likely to donate to charity in the run-up to Christmas. Despite the current cost of living crisis, the results suggest that Brits are still keen to support good causes and help those in need over the festive period.
