Speaking recently at the launch of the Charity Commission’s Public Trust and Confidence in Charities report, Sarah Atkinson, the Commission’s Policy and Communications Director warned that confidence in charities has fallen to its lowest recorded level since monitoring began in 2005.

The report suggests a drop in the public’s trust of charities from 6.7 out of 10 in 2014 to as low as 5.7 this year.
