In this episode Rhodri is joined by Angela Kail (Director of Consulting at New Philanthropy Capital (NPC)) to take a look at the growing cost of living crisis in the UK (and beyond), and what it means for philanthropy, grantmaking, and the work of civil society organisations. Including:
- Impact on charity finances
- What will the impact of inflation be when it comes increasing costs (e.g. staff costs, energy, food, building materials, leisure equipment, etc.)?
- What impact will inflation have on decreasing the value of reserves or longer-term contracts/grants?
- Will any of the government measures announced so far (e.g. capping energy bills) help charities? Are they enough?
- What will the impact of rising interest rates be on charities?
