Description

What are charity reserves? Should all charities have them? And is it time to rethink when and how rainy day funds are used and not used? 



These are just a few of the questions Sarah Vibert, CEO of NCVO, puts to Jane Ide, CEO of ACEVO and Caron Bradshaw, CEO of Charity Finance Group, in this latest charity finance podcast. We also share a range of resources to help you better manage your charity's reserves and make your charity's funds go further:
