Not for Profit eNews - December 2024
Welcome to the December 2024 edition of Not for Profit eNews
As we close out the year, this edition of our newsletter offers key insights and emerging trends that are shaping the Not for Profit world.
We first look at the Employment Rights Bill, which along with the associated Equality (Race and Disability) Bill aim to significantly enhance workplace protection for employees.
We then highlight the findings from the recently published Charity Fraud Report 2024, which highlights the growing concerns around insider fraud and how organisations can bolster their defenses.
We note that JustGiving have become the first major fundraising platform to accept cryptocurrency donations, offering new avenues for tech-savvy donors to support charitable causes.
The evolving landscape of the charity workplace is being shaped by flexible working models and new approaches to collaboration. As charities rethink their office space and working arrangements, it's crucial to stay ahead of these trends to foster a productive, inclusive environment.
As always, we invite you to explore these articles in greater detail below and stay informed on the latest developments in the Not for Profit sector.
