New figures from the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) have just
been published which show a slight rise in donations to charity following a downward
trend that has lasted several years. Public donations have risen nearly 10% between
1997 and 1998 to £4.94 billion.

 

 

 

 

But all is not well, says NCVO: “without urgent government support, charity giving
could revert to the downward trend of the early nineties.”
