They show a real terms 20% fall in donations to charities during the past year. Fewer people are giving and those who do are giving less. And this is against a backdrop of spending cuts and rising demand for members&#8217; services. Whilst the picture for individual charities varies, this overall view of the sector is concerning.<\/p>\n<p>Britain, however,\u00a0remains a generous\u00a0nation with donors supporting all manner of good causes,\u00a0both at home and overseas.
