84% of people would support tougher action against charities in the event of wrongdoing, a new survey indicates
84% OF PEOPLE would support tougher action against charities in the event of wrongdoing, a new survey indicates.
Almost 40% were very concerned that regulation is not having any effect and that greater transparency would help to improve regulation, while 84% supported tougher action by the Regulator in cases of wrongdoing by a charity. The survey identified a hierarchy of trust levels, with small local charities tending to attract the highest level of trust. Larger national and international charities received a more neutral level of trust.
Overall, the research found that nine out of ten adults donated to a charity over the last year. While financial contributions to charities fell from 74% to 59%, donations of goods rose from 43% to 57%. Martin said that the survey results “underscore the huge generosity of the Irish public when it comes to charitable giving”.
