Episode 76! England's World Cup dream may have ended in the final minutes, but Debra and Peter's conversation about courage, leadership and speaking up couldn't be more timely.After reflecting on another emotional night of football (and Peter's hopes for Somerset's T20 campaign), they turn to a much more serious topic: the growing impact of polarisation on charities.Prompted by the Charity Commission's latest research and the tragic death of Ann Widdecombe, Debra and Peter discuss how increasing hostility in public life is affecting charities, from security costs and online abuse to the psychological impact on leaders and staff. Should charities continue speaking out when doing so carries personal risks? How can trustees better support their teams? And where should organisations draw the line when deciding whether to remain on platforms like X?With a new Prime Minister about to take office, they also share practical public affairs advice on building relationships across politics and why charities should always think beyond today's headlines.All this and more in Episode 76 of Debra and Peter are doing a Podcast!Send your questions to [email protected] or comment below for the next episode!YouTube Subscribe: https://YouTube.com/@DSCOnlineMore Debra Allcock TylerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debra-allcock-tyler-8013214/More Peter WanlessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sir-peter-wanless-b43aa372/Produced by: Directory of Social Change https://www.dsc.org.ukPodcast Producer: José Blazquez
