Not for Profit eNews
In this edition of MHA’s Not-for-Profit e-News, we explore four key issues shaping the sector this October.
We begin with sector experts’ warnings that charities risk losing strength and relevance if they fail to adapt to a fast-moving social and technological environment, highlighting the need for agile leadership and cultural transformation.
We then turn to the Charity Commission’s first-ever Sector Risk Assessment, which outlines the systemic financial and governance risks currently testing the resilience of UK charities.
Our third article examines the Revitalising Trusts Programme, a cross-UK initiative that has unlocked over £100 million in dormant charitable funds for community benefit.
Finally, we review new data showing that whistleblowing reports on governance failures have doubled in two years, reinforcing the need for boards to prioritise strong governance, internal accountability, and trustee support.
As always, if you wish to discuss any of these matters in detail with us, do get in touch by clicking on the button below:
