The Queen's charitable legacy

This week, senior news reporter Russell Hargrave and acting editor Andy Ricketts reflect on the death of Queen Elizabeth II and discuss the charitable legacy she leaves behind.They talk to Sir Stuart Etherington, long-time chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations and who chaired the Patron's Fund, a charity set up as part of the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations in 2016.  The trio discuss the role the former monarch has played in the hundreds of voluntary sector organisations she was involved with, the value of a royal patron and whether charities should cancel events planned over the long weekend of the funeral. This week’s Good News Bulletin features a conundrum involving Paddington Bear teddies and a man who is embarking on the world's most epic pub crawl - all in the name of charity.  Hosted on Acast.
