Charity Chats: Trustees’ week special edition – communication, being heard and having a seat at the table

Watch our 17-minute chat with guests Catherine Rustomji of Shakespeare Martineau, James Saunders of Moore Kingston Smith and Charles Mesquita of Quilter Cheviot. 

For further information visit Moore Kingston Smith – accountants and advisers and Shakespeare Martineau.

Highlights:

In our latest Charity Chats, Charles Mesquita of Quilter Cheviot, Catherine Rustomji of Shakespeare Martineau and James Saunders of Moore Kingston Smith explore whether divestment is a potential loss of ‘voice’ enabling charities to influence the move away from fossil fuels, the governance consequences of a tweet that doesn’t hit its mark, and the increased difficulties UK charities have accessing banking.
