Date: 10 March 2025

From redundancies to resignations - new pressures on the charity sector

In this episode of CharitEpulse, the trio discuss:

  • Save the Children: Facing significant cuts, with plans to reduce 200 jobs out of their 751 staff, alongside other major charities experiencing similar redundancies and budget constraints.
  • Grant makers: Experiencing overwhelming application volumes, prompting some, like RL Glasspool, to revise their distribution strategies and application processes.
  • Toxic workplace culture: Cited as main reason for staff resignations, along with burnout and work-related stress.
  • Naomi Campbell: Granted permission to appeal against her disqualification as a charity trustee.
  • Gary Mond: Overturns Charity Commission trustee disqualification. Which raises the question: should social media use be grounds for disqualification?

Listen time: 27 minutes
