NPC's research reports dig deep into social issues such as child abuse and prisoners and ex-prisoners, exploring which approaches work and which don't, what government is doing to tackle the issue and what difference private donations can make.

Our research is independent and publicly available, and highlights a number of excellent charities where donors' funding can create a real impact.

All of NPC’s research reports are free to download on this website, along with two-page summaries of individual, recommended charities.
