Overall, there was a general decrease in the percentage of people who donated money to charity over the two time periods. However, the pattern differs between the three age groups before 50 and the two age groups after the age of 50. The highest decrease is in the 18-25 category, which saw a decrease of 10%, from 17% in 1990 to 7% in 2010. 42% of people in the 36-50 age group gave to charity in 1990, the highest on the chart, and this fell to 35% in 2010. There was also a significant decline in donations among 26-35 year olds, from 31% to 24%. The exception to this general trend downwards was among the 51-65 and over 65s. In 2010, the 51-65 year olds gave the highest percentage with nearly 40 per cent and this rose from 35% in 1990. Finally, those over 65 displayed a slight percentage increase of 3 per cent.
