114: Cost-of-living crisis: the main challenges of 2023

Charity professionals are all too aware of the cost-of-living crisis. It has posed a dual threat to non-profit organisations: funds decrease as service demand increases. The crisis is the defining issue of 2023, so much so we’ve put it front and centre of our #BeMoreDigital Conference. This year, charities will need to work out how to tackle the challenges arising from the crisis. So in this podcast, we’re going to discuss and provide advice on just that. We will consider, among many other things, the importance of financial sustainability, meeting excessive energy bills, combating cyber threats, treating staff and volunteers fairly, ensuring extra provisions for service users, and so much more. Our host Lisa Chomette is joined by two Charity Digital regulars, Laura Stanley and Ioan Marc Jones, to discuss the cost-of-living crisis, the cost-of-giving crisis, the challenges that will arise, and how your charity can face the crisis head on.
