Howard Lake | 25 July 2016 | News
The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland will soon publish research on how the public views charities.
‘Public trust and confidence in charities’ is the first major research by the charity regulator and was conducting by surveying 1000 adults across Northern Ireland.
Specific areas covered by the research include:
- key drivers influencing public trust and confidence
- how to increase public trust and confidence in your charity
- views on the effectiveness of charity regulation in Northern Ireland
- levels of public trust and confidence in the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
Chief Charity Commissioner Tom McGrath said that, coming at a time when charities are facing increasing challenges, the research has a key role to play in supporting charities in understanding public perceptions and how they can work to improve those views.
He added:
“It will also provide a wider overview of levels of public trust in charities at present, including how those opinions have changed in recent years and, crucially, what factors have influenced those changes.”
