Donations from the public to charities working overseas have grown considerably over the last 30 years. There are now around 16,000 charities that work internationally. This includes many of the well-known larger charities, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Christian Aid, but also a large number of smaller organisations.
The data provided here have emerged from a project which provides, for the first time, an overview of the charitable connections between the UK and overseas.
Data description (abstract)
These data provide information on the countries of overseas operation of registered charities in England and Wales.
Two sets of files are provided: (i) 201 country files, which contain a list of registered charities operating in each of the 201 countries considered; (ii) 1 x collated file, listing all registered charities that work across the 201 countries.
Overall, the project aims to provide a first solid baseline of analysis in an area that is likely to become even more prominent - with aid high on the political agenda; with international charities growing in size; with an increasingly internationally-engaged public; and with data resources that are likely to continue to improve.
