A sector under pressure

Charities and voluntary sector bodies are confronted by a bewildering array of social and economic challenges. These organisations can often find themselves at the eye of a reputational storm, where the interest of their beneficiaries and other stakeholders can be profoundly threatened.

Charities campaigning for cultural change are under increasing pressure themselves to respond to wider societal debates. 

The role charities play in society is constantly evolving. We work to protect and preserve their value in a complex and challenging world.

Recent years have witnessed a sea change in stakeholder expectations of charities, and we continue to see a transformation in how regulators, elected officials, the media and the general public view, value and treat them.  

Divergent views on the role of charities present new and complex situations for the sector and individual organisations to address. Not only is there a heightened need for each to preserve and communicate their value to wider audiences, but charities campaigning for cultural change are under increasing pressure themselves to respond to wider societal debates.   

We support the vital role charities play and have extensive experience working alongside a wide range of voluntary sector and membership institutions, helping them communicate with key stakeholders and manage any challenges they face.
