After crunching the results of the survey, we discovered many different types of online giver – and six key figures who kept appearing again and again.

We’ve already met affluent oldie Margaret, and Rachel from the squeezed middle. The third of key six Donor Survey personas to be put under the spotlight is Neil:

Neil – Young starters

18% of the respondents – 13.6% of the population

Neil is a young urbanite. He works in marketing for a medium-sized agency in the city, where he has worked since graduating from university. He lives the city life and is able to afford a high standard of living.

Neil enjoys nice restaurants, the theatre, weekend city breaks and skiing holidays. He also takes one long-haul holiday a year.

He is online all of the time, and uses his mobile device to access the internet when on the move. He has sponsored a number of his friends who are running marathons via online giving websites and has recently started donating via text message after seeing adverts during his commute.

He’s a high user of Facebook and Twitter where he follows his favourite journalists’ comments. Online he shops at Apple, Ted Baker, Urban Outfitters, Game, LoveFilm, Virgin Holidays, Ticketmaster and Amazon.

Neil is 25% more likely to use social media than Margaret.

Here’s an infographic which displays Neil’s information visually (click to enlarge):

Last item bought:

The office stationery order from Staples.  I love how something as mundane and unavoidable as paper and printer cartridges can raise £3.63 for charity.  If every office had a Give as You Live user, just think what could be passed on to good causes!

Most wanted item:

The Azuma Swing Hammock, currently on sale with Amazon.  It’s bliss to curl up with a good book, (or these days, my Kindle), especially on a sunny afternoon, just possibly with a glass of Pimms.  The garden is in need of a makeover and this would be perfect to replace my rather dilapidated bench. I’ll find new homes for the wildlife it’s supporting.

Favourite new store:

Next joined Give as You Live in January, which I thrilled about as I always go to them first for my nieces.  It’s great to see how often the girls will go straight to those clothes in their wardrobe, and with a donation of up to 0.5%, I can now find their new favourites whilst giving to charity.

Top of the list is Madame Tussauds – you can raise 3% when you book tickets to London’s most famous visitor attraction.

Claire’s Accessories is – you’ve guessed it – the place to buy accessories – whether it’s for fancy dress, a night out or just everyday wear. And now they’re donating 2.5% of what you spend to whichever charity you choose.

Luta are a sportwear brand who give half of their profits to Fight for Peace – as well as donating 4% of what you spend to the charity of your choice. You can watch a video about how they support young people in communities affected by crime and violence here.

These great brands are joined by Saga Holidays, MiH Jeans and NAVTEQ Maps, whilst you can now raise money when you open a Nationwide FlexDirect current account.

The full list is below, and remember – you can view all our 2,300+ stores on our website. If there’s one missing that you’d like to see, please let us know.
