Charities and the recession

Many charities are increasingly feeling the impact of the recession - with reducing income and escalating demand for their services. On 16 June, the Charity Commission launched the ‘Big Board Talk’ - to get all charities to ask themselves some serious questions.

The Big Board Talk is ’the conversation all charities need to have’, and the direct result of an extensive four month programme of outreach and research by the Charity Commission. It covers the key areas where charities said they’re most vulnerable and asks 15 key questions to help trustee boards look at both the options and opportunities available to them, right now.

The economic downturn - 15 questions trustees need to ask, is available from the Commission's website.
