 * 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.”

The report will be launched at the Long Gallery, Stormont, on Tuesday 6 September
2016. The full report will be available after the launch on the [Charity Commission for Northern Ireland](http://www.charitycommissionni.org.uk)’
