CharitEpulse: From Budget strains to prize draw politics
In this week’s episode our chatters James Saunders, Charles Mesquita and Catherine Rustomji explore some of the most pressing issues currently shaping the sector:
- Autumn Budget: Why charities may feel the pinch more than most following the recent Budget announcement.
- Home Secretary’s plan for migrant volunteering: Over 300 charities have signed a letter rejecting the plan, calling it “immoral and impractical”.
- Trustee diversity and development: Calls for better learning and development to recruit and retain trustees. Could a buddy system help?
- New SORP impact reporting: The latest accounting standards require detailed impact reporting for charities with income over £15 million.
- Prize draw politics: A new voluntary code for prize draw operators. Should money given to charities be treated as donations or costs of business?
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube.
