This is an example video. It explains Public Trust in Charities twenty twenty-six, research prepared for the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and what it says about why people trust charities.

Trust in charities has held steady at a high level since twenty twenty: fifty-seven per cent of people have high trust. Low trust has risen a little, from nine per cent in twenty twenty-four to eleven per cent in twenty twenty-six.

Charities score six point five out of ten, more than almost every other institution in the survey. Only doctors score higher, at seven point one. Banks score six point two, and MPs three point four.

What matters most? Fifty-five per cent say most of the money raised going to the cause itself. Fifty-one per cent say making a real difference, up from forty-five per cent last year. And forty per cent want to see how much was raised and how it was spent.

Trust is driven by contact with charities and by understanding how they are run, and trust in turn fosters giving and volunteering.
