The 2025 Charity Digital Skills Report finds a dramatic drop in X usage, with many charities yet to rebuild their strategies elsewhere.

More than half (51%) of UK charities have either left or reduced their use of X (formerly Twitter), according to the newly released 2025 Charity Digital Skills Report. That’s up from just 18% the year before, marking a steep decline that reflects widespread discomfort with the platform’s direction under Elon Musk’s ownership.
