CAF Head of Policy Hannah Terrey said: “While the majority of people in the UK give to charity – and recognise the key role that charities play in society – there is more that can be done, and we wholeheartedly support the Give More campaign. “By increasing the visibility and more clearly demonstrating the impact of giving, we could help to encourage more people to give and people in general to give more.” www.givemore.org.uk * **[Global eight-day social giving campaign Everyone Gives launches](https://fundraising.co.uk/2012/02/22/global-eightday-social-giving-campaign-everyone-gives-launches/)**( 22 February 2012) * **[The two things about fundraising are…](https://fundraising.co.uk/2012/03/06/two-things-about-fundraising-are/)**( 6 March 2012) * **[Social Action Fund awards grant to inspire philanthropy in young people](https://fundraising.co.uk/2012/06/15/social-action-fund-awards-grant-inspire-philanthropy-young-people/)**( 15 June 2012)
