Over the next few months Society Guardian will be looking into the issues facing the charity and voluntary sectors as we tackle challenging times economically, as well as facing uncertain times politically. We'll be hearing from leading figures in the not-for-profit sector as well as some lesser known organisations with stories to tell.
For our first podcast we brought together a respected panel to discuss issues around the identity of the not-for-profit world, and the challenges ahead. We also look at the key challenges of funding, capacity – skills and leadership; contract culture; and image and public perception.
The panel
David Brindle, public services editor, Guardian
Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive of NCVO;
Dame Mary Marsh, Director, Clore Social Leadership Programme;
Paul Palmer, Associate Dean - Ethics, Sustainability and Engagement, Charity Effectiveness
Nirjay Mahindru, Chief Executive, InterAct Reading Service
