Celebrating the end of the Household Survey

We joined Angela from McNair Ingenuity Research on the phone and toasted the end of the Giving Australia 2016 Household Survey with our version of champagne (sparkling apple juice). Over 6,200 telephone interviews were completed with individuals Australia-wide on their experiences in giving and volunteering. Congratulations to everyone involved!
