Survey aims to understand drop in charity income

The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland recently published its Charity Register 2025 Report, revealing a significant decline in income reported by charities during 2024-2025 compared to the previous year.

The Commission is asking charities that have experienced a drop in income to complete a short five minutes survey to help us understand what is affecting charity income and the impact it is having on charities.

“We know trustees, staff and volunteers are already under significant strain,” said Ann Breslin, Policy Development Manager at the Commission.  “However, your input is vital to help us understand the challenges facing the sector and to inform future support.”

You can find the survey at this link:  Why have the incomes of charities fallen - survey.

Your feedback will help shape a clearer picture of the pressures on Northern Ireland’s charity sector.
