Bradford has been named on a top 10 list of the UK’s most generous areas, new data suggests.
It is the only city in Yorkshire to make an appearance on the national list.
Fundraising site GoFundMe revealed it has seen one donation per second in 2022 – a year dominated by Ukraine-related appeals.
Manchester has stayed in the top spot for the second year running, followed by Salford, Belfast, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The UK’s top three fundraisers were all created following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.
In aid of the Association of Ukrainians, Britons donated more than £2.8 million to the campaign, which topped the charts as GoFundMe UK’s largest appeal.
The site also revealed 250 million US dollars (around £205 million) was raised for Ukraine across the website and US platform Classy in 2022, with more than 1.2 million donations.
Another fundraiser on the list, which aimed to “keep Ukraine’s media going”, raised more than £960,000.
Rounding out the top 10 for the country’s most generous areas were Norwich, Bradford, St Albans, Brighton and Hove and Newcastle upon Tyne.
John Coventry from GoFundMe said: “The UK going up in the ranks for most generous countries was in part due to the huge response on our platform to the crisis in Ukraine, which was led by generous British donors.
“Despite the cost-of-living crisis, people are digging deep for people and causes they care about.
“What we’ve seen in 2022 is that, at times of crisis, kind-hearted people always want to help each other.”
