From our blog

With charity donations falling is it time to change the way we think about giving?

Earlier this week we announced the results of the 2012 Scottish Poppy Appeal. A terrific £2,586,788 was raised thanks to a generous Scottish public and a dedicated army of volunteers.

Not by much (3.76%) and certainly not as steep a fall as experienced by many other charities, which is reassuring.
