Niki May Young has witnessed a changing sector over the past two years, but today she is faced with a particularly difficult challenge.
Families and friends in mourning are often moved to honour their lost ones by setting up new charities, but criticised for replicating already existing organisations. Niki May Young suggests that there is still room for in-memoriam charities, if done well.
World peace - will it ever be achievable? Niki May Young thinks that because of breakthroughs in social media it may not be such a distant dream after all, at least for a day.
Has society stooped so low that it accepts messages making light of domestic abuse from its high-street retailers? Thankfully not, says Niki May Young, because of the charities that protect our standards.
It's a hard knock life for young people these days. But not all is doom and gloom, finds Niki May Young.
As sector transparency grows, increased awareness of the salaries of charity employees has sparked debate and outrage amongst members of the public. But is this the beginning or the end of the 'Charitocrat', wonders Niki May Young.
