With the threat of recession and social inequality on the rise, the challenge of growth for charities has never been a more important topic. At this year’s Charity Investment Forum, experts shared their views on how this could be an opportunity for the third sector. Watch the recap below.
The challenge of growth was the focus of this year’s Cazenove Capital’s Charity Investment Forum, where we hosted over 300 charity trustees, investment committee members and executives. A range of experts looked at the portfolio implications of slowing growth as well as the impact of growing social inequalities, the cost-of-living crisis higher demand for charitable services, sustainably and the transition to net zero.
With all of the uncertainty this creates, speakers delved into the opportunity available for the sector to demonstrate how charities can collaborate, mobilise and help those who need it most.
The keynote speaker was Steven Bartlett, a successful entrepreneur, speaker, investor, author and Dragon on the BBC show Dragons’ Den. He discussed his own experiences of growth in business and on a personal level.
