CharitEpulse: 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
