It’s official, a general election has been called for 4 July 2024! It’s an exciting time, and it’s natural to wonder how your charity can engage in this period, stay true to your mission and not compromise Charity or Electoral Commission rules. The good news is, you absolutely can campaign throughout a general election period, […]

Making your voice heard in an election year

Posted on May 1, 2024 (May 24, 2024)

An early (and rather gloomy) start on the train to London gave me a bit of time to reflect on this week’s news and the rapidly moving policy agenda. On my mind particularly this week is the implementation of the Safety of Rwanda Act, and the raft of announcements around plans to reform the welfare […]

Intro to the world of public affairs

Autumn 2022 newsletter: what we’ve been working on & recommended reads

Posted on November 29, 2022 (September 20, 2023)

At the time of our last newsletter the (first) Conservative leadership contest was in full swing and we noted that there was no shortage of political news in the normally-quieter summer months. It’s fair to say things have only continued to ramp up since then as we saw the election of Liz Truss, the disastrous ‘mini-Budget’, the removal of Liz Truss, the election of Rishi Sunak as our third Prime Minister of the year and the Autumn Statement seeking to rectify the impact of the mini-Budget. We’ve been helping the charities we work with to navigate this tumultuous time, which you can read more about in our Autumn 2022 newsletter, along with news of our PRCA-PoliMonitor award nomination, our insights into this year’s party conferences and what the new Charities Minister means for the sector, and a few of our recommended reads.

Stuart Andrew as civil society minister: what does it mean for the charity sector?

Posted on November 16, 2022 (September 29, 2023)

Last week, it was confirmed that Stuart Andrew MP has been appointed as the latest Minister for Civil Society. Andrew has already been a minister in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) team since early September, responsible for sport and art, but now civil society, loneliness and youth have been folded into his brief, along with the separate world of tourism. But who is he, and what does this mean for charities’ relationship with the Government? […]
