Three BBC Radio 4 programmes on charities and fundraising today

Howard Lake | 10 February 2016 | News

Charity fundraising is the subject of three BBC Radio 4 programmes today alone.

You and Yours

You and Yours at 12.15 today featured the closure last year of face-to-face fundraising firm Fundraising Initiatives. It also covered the case of a charitable legacy to Cancer Research UK in which the daughter of the donor alleged that the charity had not acted sensitively in the process.

Money Box Live

This afternoon at just after 3pm Money Box Live will ask whether charities have become too commercial. Ruth Alexander and guests will discuss the issues in the wake of The Sun’s criticism of Age UK and E.On’s corporate fundraising partnership.
The programme is inviting contributions from donors, charity workers and others.

The Moral Maze

This evening at 8pm Michael Burke looks at charities in the Moral Maze. It will cover questions such as:
