July 23, 2009, Third Sector Online — People in the UK are more likely to give to charity that any other nation, a survey has suggested.

Almost six out of 10 people who responded to a survey by data analysis firm G2 Data Dynamics said their donations had not changed as a result of the economic downturn.

International development charities are finding it increasingly difficult to secure media coverage of their work because of the recession.

People are less likely to cut back on giving to charity in the coming year than on eating out, clothes or weekly food shopping, according to the latest survey from think tank nfpSynergy.
