CharitEpulse: Is the regulator “glacial and toothless”?
This week our chatters James Saunders, Charles Mesquita, and Catherine Rustomji look at the evolving landscape of the charity sector, including:
- The Charity Commission branded “toothless” by Lord Walney, sparking debate on the regulator’s effectiveness and resource allocation;
- The Fundraising Regulator suspends charity for code breaches, highlighting the importance of compliance and reputation management;
- Charity mergers up 31% to a total of 63, driven by financial challenges, but the number is still a tiny fraction of the 170,000 registered charities; and
- Artificial Intelligence in charities presents opportunities for efficiency gains, but raises concerns about data security and ethical implementation.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube.
