Research by University philanthropy expert Beth Breeze reveals how public attitudes towards charities may have changed since 1991. The new co-authored book, ‘The Logic of Charity: Great Expectations in Hard Times’, has recently been published by Palgrave.
The book draws on research conducted during our time working in the ESRC Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy on the topic of ‘charity and social redistribution’. We present and discuss the findings from over a dozen studies including large datasets on the geography and funding patterns of third sector organisations, and interviews with a wide range of donors, charity leaders, fundraisers and philanthropy advisers – as well as other research led by the authors, including a newly commissioned social attitudes survey on the relative responsibilities of government and charity.
