Worryingly, many feel that they will need to continue relying on charity well into next year, with nearly 40% predicting they will need support for at least 6 more months

Mental health support, food support and employment support have been the three areas most in demand from charities since the beginning of the crisis - with young adults aged 18-34 most likely to need help with work

This all comes at a time when charities are struggling to raise the money needed to make their services available, something that also concerns the unexpected charity users

Almost two-thirds say they are worried about the drop off in fundraising

But, the research also proved what a huge difference charities were able to make to people’s lives over the course of the pandemic

Over 40% felt reassured that charities were there to help, and a third now feel hopeful for the future

The crisis has also led to an increased understanding of charities and the work they do to support vulnerable people.

More than 60% of us say we are more likely to seek charity support, and two-fifths are more likely to donate to a charity
