CharitEpulse: Resilience, recognition, and regrettable rows
In this week’s podcast, our chatters James Saunders, Charles Mesquita, and Catherine Rustomji debate the below hot-button issues:
- Positive signs: three quarters of charities have maintained or increased fundraising income over the past year, defying previous expectations;
- Treat Civil Society as equal to businesses: a ‘hot mic’ comment by the Health Secretary has sparked controversy;
- Barriers to trusteeship: the Association of Chairs has opened a consultation on trusteeship, focusing on paid trustees and professional qualifications, (re-)igniting the debate about diversity and inclusion;
- Rumbling on: The Captain Tom Foundation has changed its name to The 1189808 Foundation, dropping reference to Captain Tom at the family’s “demand”, amid ongoing controversy about funds owed to the charity and personal benefits.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube.
