In this episode of CharitEpulse, the trio discuss:

• Church of England investment fund reaches £11.6bn: marking 17 consecutive years of growth.

• Larger charities dominate public procurement: research indicates that charities with incomes over £1m (around 5.5% of the sector) secure a significant proportion of contracts, while smaller organisations face barriers due to complexity and cost.

• Trustee social media use under scrutiny: the Charity Commission has had to intervene repeatedly over controversial trustee social media posts; the core tension is whether individuals can separate their personal views from their organisational roles.

• Understanding of fundraising at board level: sector commentary suggests some charity boards may lack familiarity with fundraising dynamics, including the time required to realise returns on investment.
