Laurie Taylor talks to LAURA EDWARDS the author of A Bit Rich! - a report from the Institute for Public Policy Research on why the wealthy in Britain find it so hard to give to charity. According to the research "Getting the rich to give to charity will take more than tax incentives and sophisticated fundraising appeals".
