Small charity infrastructure, donation decline and an AI fundraising experiment

Lucinda Rouse is joined by Third Sector colleagues Emily Burt and Emily Harle to reflect on three significant sector stories from the past month. Emily Burt shares her perspective on concerns raised by small charity representatives following the news of a restructure at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. Lucinda considers the findings of the Charities Aid Foundation’s UK Giving Report, and asks whether falling levels of individual donations point to the need for a strategic shift in fundraising. And Emily Harle provides details of an experimental AI agent that has raised £500 for a London Marathon runner. Tell us what you think of the Third Sector Podcast!
