'Charity facing closure' - the journalist's quandary

Niki May Young has witnessed a changing sector over the past two years, but today she is faced with a particularly difficult challenge.

Charities must lead the way by investing in good

Ethical investment by some of the top charities has significantly decreased. Niki May Young deplores the drop and calls for the sector to stand as a moral leader.

What with this and recent attacks on feminism by other so-called voluntary sector leaders I do wonder who these seemingly self-appointed 'leaders' think they are and where the sector's radical thought and fighting spirit is - perhaps only here at the roots and certainly not in the lofty giddy heights occupied by Bubb et al.
