POORER areas of Britain are the most charitable, a new report has found, with a record £13.9 billion donated by the public last year.
The total marks a 9 per cent increase on the 2022 figure of £12.7bn, as average monthly donations increased by nearly 40 per cent to reach £65, according to the report by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).
The most generous constituency was Sheffield Hallam, where residents gave 3.2 per cent of household income to charity.
The new and wealthy London constituency of Kensington & Bayswater gave the second most — but this constituted just 0.5 per cent of household income, the lowest in the country.
On average, constituencies in Scotland and Wales gave more as a proportion of income than those in England.
CAF chief executive Neil Heslop said: “We need to foster a more widespread and sustainable culture of giving to support charities that are squeezed from all sides.”
