Methodology
Donor Consideration
The charities in the YouGov UK Charity rankings 2023 were ranked using the Donor Consideration score - a daily measure of which charities the nation would likely donate to tomorrow - according to YouGov CharityIndex.
The top ranked rankings chart shows the brands with the highest average Donor Consideration score between January 1st and December 31st, 2022. The scores are representative of the general population of adults 18+. The top improvers rankings chart shows the brands with the highest increase in Donor Consideration score comparing January 1st to December 31st, 2021, and January 1st to December 31st, 2022.
All scores listed have been rounded to a single decimal place; however, we have used additional precision to assign ranks. All brands must have been tracked for at least six months in order to be eligible for inclusion in the rankings.
