What’s in May’s issue of Governance & Leadership?

16 May 2025 In-depth

Civil Society Media

The cover theme in May is the rise and rise of charity podcasting, where we explore how much, and why, podcasting has grown in popularity across the charity sector. The article also looks at how charities are going about it, what benefits podcasting brings to an organisation and its cause, and features a couple of case studies.

In Strategy & Operations, we cover the latest results from the latest Foundation Practice Rating research, which examines how grantmakers are faring in their approach to transparency, accountability and diversity. And the CEO of South East London Mind writes about how it is even more important to be outward-looking and collaborative when times are tough, with some ideas about how to achieve that.

In People & Culture, Acevo and Voice4Change England offer some expert guidance on how charities can establish effective policies and processes to enable people to report racism within their organisations, and ensure that such reports are properly acted on.

And the Core Functions theme is HR, where we unveil the findings of a doctoral study into the value that coaching and mentoring can bring to charity CEOs.

We hope you enjoy reading the magazine.
