2025 November Charity Matters Part One
Description
Buckle up, non-profit pros! 🎧 In this episode, we’re tearing into the jam-packed November 15, 2025 edition of NFP News Charity Matters, and wow... is it a heavy one.
Join your hosts for a lively, no-holds-barred tour through the magazine's five headline sections. We’re unpacking the "Perfect Storm" battering the UK charity sector and the radical reinventions rising from the wreckage.
In this episode, we dive into:
0:00:50 🚀 The Uplift: Why charities are ditching "chequebook" partnerships for "social unicorns" and the 100x Impact Accelerator. Plus: Is pro-bono expertise the new cash?
0:28:45 📉 Sector Scrutiny: The tragic collapse of Bloody Good Period and the "Triple Threat" (costs, demand, income) that’s pushing charities to the brink.
0:41:20 ⚖️ Governance & Compliance: The regulator is taking the gloves off! We discuss the Church of England ultimatum and why the new "zero-tip" rule is a game-changer for donor trust.
1:10:00 👥 Leadership & People: A diversity crisis exposed (0% Black CEOs?! 🚩) and a masterclass in leadership from the RNLI's Peter Sparkes.
- 1:41:00 💰 Fundraising Finds: From climbing Ama Dablam for grief to Crisis becoming a landlord (yes, really!), we look at the wild new ways charities are surviving.
- 2:14:20 The Big Question — where we ask 'Is radical reinvention the only way forward, or is the sector just breaking down?'
Grab your coffee (or something stronger), and let’s get into it! ☕👇
