Press release: Helping Veterans Housing Scotland to increase public support during a challenging time for charities

Survey of a representative sample of just over a 1,000 Scottish adults in early September 2022, on behalf of Veterans Housing Scotland.

Findings around charitable giving include:

  • 78% had given to charity at least once in the last year.
  • However, with increasing living costs, half of Scots expected that the total amount they would donate to charities in the next 12 months would be less than in the last year.
  • 14% expected to stop making any donations, 11% expected to decrease a lot; 25% expected to decrease a little.
  • Just 10% expected the amount they would give to increase.
