|

|
Chief executives and senior managers from the UK's largest fundraising charities, including Cancer Research UK, Amnesty International and Unicef, met last week to discuss what can be done to defend the sector against negative and inaccurate media coverage. The meeting was called in response to Stephen Bubb's open letter to chief executives following the Newsnight feature on face-to-face fundraising. In the letter, Bubb called for more active involvement from chief executives to defend the sector against media attacks. The delegates agreed that the ImpACT Coalition would work with the Media Trust to identify and train spokespeople to represent the sector on specific issues, such as fundraising techniques, admistration costs and salaries. If you would like to nominate yourself as a spokesperson, please contact Liam Cranley.

|
|
