High net worth individuals in the UK, some of them family business members, are the biggest donators of £1 million (€1.17 million) or more to charities in the country, despite an overall decline in giving, according to a report by private bank Coutts.
Out of a total of 174 million-pound-plus donations made during 2009/2010, 60% of the money came from the very wealthy, said the study entitled The Million Pound Donors Report 2011.
