About us
Short facts about UK charities, and videos about giving well.
Every single charity currently registered in England and Wales was registered after 1 January 1961 — every one but one. Trinity College Carmarthen is listed as registered on 9 September 1960, making it the earliest registered charity in England and Wales. A glitch in the matrix, or just a very old college?
With over £40 billion collected annually, London is by far the biggest source of charitable income in the UK. But does that generosity still hold once you account for population?
The biggest UK non-profit organisation dedicated to animals is the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds — proof that the British really do care about their local birds.
Cardiff's non-profit organisations collect roughly twice as much money per person as Liverpool's — a real difference in generosity, or just a difference in charity size?
Ever heard of Epsom? This Surrey town harbours the headquarters of the UK's biggest charitable organisation, which collects £1.4 billion annually.
"Cat" appears in the name of 266 charities in the UK. "Dog" only appears in 208. Who knew Britain was a nation of cat-lovers?
