New mag looks at the precarity of funding, the mis-match between what the sector gets, how it gets it and the increasing amount demanded from us
Welcome to TFN magazine’s final edition of the year.
This month we hit themes which we have been returning to a lot over the past year – and will continue to in the years ahead.
The precarity of funding and the mis-match between what the sector gets, how it gets it and the increasing amount that is demanded from us.
We have returned to this theme and will keep returning to it because it frames absolutely everything we do. It is literally the stuff of the sector’s existence.
This month, we look at the architecture of funding – and specifically the geography of the funding landscape.
Is there a level playing field for smaller charities when applying for funds?
One of the biggest stories of the past year has been the impact of the hike in employers’ National Insurance.
Linked to the precarity of funding, this has taken a real toll
The first data-sets are becoming available about its impact – and, as expected, the results aren’t pretty.
The wider operating environment also impacts funding. This moth we look at the impact the UK Government’s hard line on people seeking refuge in the UK, and we find that it could have a big impact on those providing frontline services to some of the country’s most desperate and vulnerable people.
We also look at the need to defend human rights and have an excellent focus on RNIB’s Tech Hub – an example of where, if things can feel gloomy, we must remember the transformative effect our work and services have.
You will find all of that in this month’s magazine as well as TFN's usual line up of excellent columnists.
