Description

Lucinda Rouse is joined by Emily Burt, Emily Harle and Andy Ricketts to dissect the leading stories from the voluntary sector in 2025.

Lucinda delivers a speedy round-up of the year’s charity news before the four discuss their selected top stories. 

These include the launch of the Civil Society Covenant and leadership and governance challenges at Oxfam GB and World Vision UK.

They share their nominations for the year’s strangest stories, from sabotaged locks at a Cheshire museum to the children’s charity whose future was threatened after it bought land that was open to shooting parties.

The team reflects on some recurring trends over the course of the year, from the unwelcome waves of redundancies and charity closures to the effects of rising far-right activism on the sector.
