Predictions for the Charity Sector in 2025

There is no doubting that 2024 was another challenging year for many charities, and as we look forward into 2025, the charity sector is again faced by challenges and opportunities in many guises. The ongoing advance of technology, shifting societal expectations, and the increasing importance of sustainability, together with some regulatory and legislative changes point to some key trends which will not only influence how charities operate but also how they engage with donors, volunteers, and the broader community. Here are some of our predictions for the Charity Sector in 2025:

  • Technology and Digital Transformation
  • Virtual and Augmented Reality
  • Generational Shifts and Donor Engagement
  • Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
  • Collaborative Partnerships
  • Focus on Mental Health and Wellbeing
  • Diverse Funding Models

HMRC target small charities VAT recovery

HMRC have recently proactively written to several small to medium VAT registered charities to remind them that if they have “non-business” activities, they must restrict VAT recovery on input tax.

Non-business activities are those that are freely provided, without charging a fee to the recipient. Examples include an animal rescue centre funded by donations, or a charity that provides care to the homeless funded by grants. The activity could be funded by grants or donations, legacies or investment income.
