NPC has been working for a decade and a half to improve the work of charitable organisations. Here our CEO Dan Corry explains why this milestone is no cause for rest, but merely a platform to continue to transform the charity sector.

Yesterday’s publication of the Taylor Review—which looks at modern work and employment practices—has rightly received lots of attention. And its findings bring a much needed prompt for the charity sector to scrutinise how it treats its employees. There are difficult questions to be asked and issues to be balanced. Here, Andrew Weston looks at job instability, low pay, and overwork in charity sector.

The recent report by the Commission on the Donor Experience has been received by both applause, and a thread of concern. In many ways, the report is a valuable resource for the sector, but it fails to adequately address the fundamental principle of fundraising, namely that it is first and foremost a mechanism to enable activity in support of service users and beneficiaries.

Comments by the chair of the Fundraising Regulator today reopened wider debates about charities’ relationship with the public, and in particular public trust in charities.

Measurement and evaluation can be seen as dry, but it exists because of a desire to do better and make a difference. And new developments in the field mean that more is possible. Ruth Gripper looks at what’s new and why it’s important.
