👐 Big Trust in Charities, But Is There Room for Improvement? 🏠
A recent survey of 1,000 people reveals that three out of four of us trust charities and community groups. That’s pretty high! But there’s also chatter about possible overlaps in the work they do. Nearly half of us think medium and even small charities might be duplicating services, with a significant number suggesting they should maybe think about merging to cut costs. 🤔
Despite these concerns, it seems our faith isn’t shaken. Charities remain among the most trusted institutions, coming in second only to schools. And while bigger charities are seen as a bit more professional, small ones have our hearts when it comes to delivering community-specific services. 💪
Claire McGowran from the We Act campaign says it’s all about balance. While there’s definite room for charities to buddy up and collaborate more, having a variety of groups means that support can be tailored to local needs. So, what’s the takeaway? More transparency and better communication could showcase the incredible work both large and small charities do. 🗣️
And for those wondering how charities can regain even more trust: a clear focus on spending transparency, strong management, and maintaining a good reputation is key. 🔍
What do you think? Is service duplication an issue, or do the diverse options help us more than we realise? Drop your thoughts below! 📣❤️
