LONDON, October 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Around 40% of us can afford to double the amount of money we give to charity each week, according to figures published today.
The research, launched by CAF (Charities Aid Foundation), marks the UK's first National Giving Week and is designed to show not only whether people can afford to give more to charity, but whether they are actually willing to do so.
Overall, 57% of those surveyed said they would give more if a favourite charity was in urgent need of extra funding. But when asked what they would do with an extra GBP20 a week to spend, almost two thirds said they would not make charitable giving a priority. Interestingly, 28% of the wealthy and 44% of the least-wealthy said they would be prepared to give the money to charity."
