UK giving is changing! 📊✨ Average donations are up to £165, but 12% of donors paused regular contributions. Young donors are stepping up with bigger gifts, while faith-based donors continue to be generous. London & the East remain hotspots for high-value donations. Giving through gaming is booming.

I’ve been reading Rory Sutherland’s Alchemy. He is all about challenging the status quo and recognising that human behaviour is complex, often illogical and full of surprises. He encourages marketers to think more creatively and be open to unconventional ideas.
