‘Journalistic appeal and outstanding expertise combine to
provide an impartial, comprehensive understanding of the sector.
Perceptive insights into current opportunities suggest even greater
future roles for charities.’
Charles Jardine, London South Bank University
What
it's about: When the coronavirus pandemic took hold early in 2020,
charities were among the first to respond to the resulting social and
economic distress. But recent scandals and a more critical climate have
overshadowed the vital role they play.
What Have
Charities Ever Done for Us? rebalances the
debate, using case studies and interviews to illustrate how charities
support people and communities, foster heritage and culture and pioneer
responses to crucial social, ethical and environmental questions.
Who
it's for: A must-read for anyone in the UK voluntary sector and the
general public at large who want to understand the true value of
charities in today’s society.

This
page includes our most recent Covid-19 funding update pages, as well as
specific sector news and more!
