A recent survey by Investec Private Bank suggests a 10% fall in charitable giving, around £574million, in 2009, echoing the 11% estimate in the CAF/NCVO survey last autumn.
But this is not at all the end of generosity. Within 24 hours of the first TV appeal by the Disasters Emergency Committee an amazing £10milion had been given by the British public.
