Philanthropy UK, the resource for aspiring philanthropists, has redeveloped its 
website to offer “practical information and tools to enable donors to give effectively
and to make a positive contribution to their community.”
This updated website includes
commentaries from philanthropists and advisors, a snapshot of charity and giving
trends, information on the different methods of tax-efficient giving; and a range
of toher resources, including a downloadable copy of the 2005 second edition of “
A Guide to Giving” edited by Philanthropy UK’s Director Susan Mackenzie.

All together these provide an intelligent ‘how to get started’ tool-kit. There also
are full listings of the wide range of advisors who can be contacted

“Our aim is to support and encourage people who are serious about their charitable
giving,” said Susan Mackenzie. “With the dramatic increase in wealth in Britain,
more individuals want to give, and this website helps them to have the confidence
that their money is really making a difference.”
