    Charity PR Crisis - Dealing With The Press [Feature Length Episode]

    It's every charity's nightmare. Something really bad has happened (perhaps a major GDPR breach or some kind of serious accusation of impropriety) and you've just learned the local press have got hold of the story. What do you do?! Whilst it's not possible to cover every eventuality or put your mind at ease in this eventuality, this episode looks at this scenario from the point of view of a seasoned reporter. In this instance, we talk to Ed Stilliard, an experienced news journalist with nearly two decades' experience in print and online news media. We talk to Ed about what any charity leader's first thoughts should be, how these scenarios may play out, what news reporters most likely will and won't want and what they can and can't do. In this extended episode we look at everything from the precise meaning of being 'off the record' to understanding the motivation of the reporter who wants to tell the public all about your worst nightmare. Whether you've faced this kind of situation or not, you simply can't afford to miss this episode!

    The Future of Fundraising

    Fundraising and revenue generation for charities in general looks fundamentally different now than it a decade ago. Frankly, it looks unrecognizable to the situation if you go back 20 years or more. The days of rattling collection tins on the high street or asking people to hand over loose change are numbered. Whilst contactless giving and digital donations are hardly new, they represent only a tony element of the huge range of new fundraising options currently available to charities. In this episode, we chat to James Moir, the Chief Exec of EasyFundraising. They "partner with over 7,000 brands who donate part of what consumers spend to a cause of your choice. It won't cost the charity any extra. The cost is covered by the brand." Basically, they're offering 'free money' to any charity that wants to try and make it! James talks to us about the EasyFundraising model and his thoughts generally on the future of fundraising in what is becoming an almost exclusively online environment.

    Once Upon a Time... The Power of Charity Storytelling

    Every charity, from the smallest to the biggest, has something incredibly powerful at their disposal. Something that can enthral audiences, secure support, recruit volunteers and connect with people who need help. That thing is storytelling. In this episode, we talk to Trevor Reid from Meningitis Now. Trevor talks about what storytelling, when used effectively, can achieve for your charity. From speeches to an audience in person to a well prepared leaflet or poster. Storytelling remains one of the most underused assets charities have. And yet, your charity doesn't need big budgets or fancy skills to make effective use of it. You don't need to have an especially creative personality or any personal skill for story writing. As Joe and Trevor discuss, the stories you want to tell reveal themselves to you simply by taking a close look at the work you do. Trevor Reid is the Director of Fundraising and Communications for Meningitis Now. A charity with a vision for a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

    Charity Safeguarding - What You Need To Know

    In this episode we talk to Elyzabeth Hawkes, the Deputy Chief Exec of the charity POhWher. She talks to us about the vitally important subject of safeguarding. Almost all charities appreciate safeguarding is important. And yet, so many charities (especially smaller ones) do not have any formal safeguarding policies or practises in place. Too often the plan is to simply react accordingly when something goes wrong rather than having a solid and well thought out plan to be pro-active and make sure nothing goes wrong in the first place. POhWER is a charity who provide information, advice, support and advocacy to people who experience disability, vulnerability, distress and social exclusion. They were set up in 1996 by service users who, tired of others making assumptions about their capabilities and views, wanted equal access to information and a voice of their own. Obviously, safeguarding is an important part of their work and Elyzabeth gives us her insights into the subject and some top tips for anyone just starting out on the subject. You can find out more about POhWER and the work they do, as well as how to support them via their website - www.pohwer.net You can find out more about Third Sector Network and how we can help and support your charity on our website by clicking ⁠here⁠.

    How Charities Can Benefit from HR Support

    In this episode we speak to the wonderful Careen Joseph about all things HR (Human Resources) in the world of charities. Careen works with the excellent charity, Beauty for Ashes Refuge based in Manchester. Here she talks to us about the work they do, but also what she is able to bring to a charity as a HR professional, and through that highlights what any HR professional can bring to any charity. We talk about how so many charities have numerous staff, perhaps many volunteers, but no-one with professional HR training or experience to manage the myriad of issues that can arise (both positive and negative). We dispel some of the myths and misunderstandings around HR and look at how much any charity, even a really small one, can improve their performance by bringing someone into the team with HR experience. Whether that's on a salaried, volunteer or trustee basis. You can find out more about Beauty for Ashes Refuge by clicking HERE.
