In this report we describe the charitable giving behaviour of UK households over the last two decades. In particular, we look at which types of households are most likely to give to charity, how much they give, the form in which they give and the way in which these have been changing since 1974. We go on to consider how household donations might have been affected by the introduction of the weekly National Lottery in November 1994.
