The chart below illustrates the details on the levels of donation among people of different ages in Britain.
Overall, a greater percentage of british people gave money to charity in 1990 than in 2010. However, across the two years, the pattern differs before and after the age of 50.
In 1990, 42% of the 36-50 age-group made charitable donations, and this figure is the highest on the chart. The 18-25s contributed the least at only 17%. By 2010, these figures had fallen significantly to 7% respectively. The level of donations from the 26-35 age group also experienced a decrease in 2010 from 31% to 24%.
While donations up to the age of 50 declined across the two years, they rose among the 51-65 age group from 35% to nearly 40%, which was the highest percentage from 2010. The figure for the over 65s was lower than this, at 35%, but it was still a little higher than the 1990 figure of 32%.
