The organisation Stewardship recently published their third generosity report, seeking to capture ‘fresh insights into the impact of faith on generosity and the factors shaping Christian giving across the UK today’.
The key highlights are as follows:
Trust and generosity
1. Trust in local church leads to greater generosity
2. Regular teaching on generosity helps build trust
3. Trust leads to gratitude and joy in giving
Giving habits
4. Fewer Christians are giving in response to appeals
5. Over 25% of Christians give from savings
The future of giving
6. The wealthy, the young and ethnic minority Christians expect to give more
7. Younger givers are more open to teaching on generosity and appeals to give
8. Younger Christians talk more about giving
Further information is available here, from where (with an email address) a pdf of the report can be downloaded.
