Post budget – what does this mean for charities?
In this episode of CharitEpulse, the trio delve into the implications of the recent budget on the charity sector and more:
- National insurance increase: With a £1.4 billion rise in national insurance contributions for charities, does this signal a neglect of the sector in light of ‘The Covenant’?
- Charity tax reliefs: The HMRC’s plans to restrict tax reliefs: a necessary safeguard or an overreaction?
- Whistle-blowing protections: What does the latest tribunal ruling mean for trustees?
- Trustee ‘crisis’: The National Council for Voluntary Organisations has highlighted a shortage of charity trustees. Is this truly a crisis, or could it be diverting attention from more pressing challenges?
- Refusing donations: The Chartered Institute of Fundraising’s stance on donation refusals prompts a discussion on the ethical implications of inconsistent decision-making based on a charity’s values and morals
