How do the main sources of income differ by charity size?

In 2017/18, small charities were more likely to receive the highest proportion of their income from the general public, compared to charities with an income of over £1m.
Charities with an income of under £100k received nearly two-thirds (58%) of their total income from the public, compared to just under half (49%) for medium charities.
