This month, Charity Finance comes with a FREE copy of the 2012 Charity Shops Survey. Now in its 21st year Jonathan Last reports on how charity shops profit margins are changing, how much they spend on staff, how many new shops are opening, how much rent they pay, and much, much more. 74 charities, controlling 6,233 shops with an income of £716m are examined in this 32 page supplement, making it the authoritative study of trends and issues affecting the sector. 

Also in October's issue:

• Gareth Jones assesses the pooled funds market and finds that the government may finally be addressing the regulation of CIFs.
• Every charity leader must be an excellent communicator. In a world of information overload, Martin Edwards of Julia's House shows how it's done.
• The Royal British Legion share their innovative way of reducing liabilities in their pension scheme.
• Phil Durbin of the Salvation Army tackles the issue of staff wishing to bring their own IT devices to the workplace.
• And Oxfam's Bob Humphreys writes about the steps to take if you discover fraud in a partner organisation.
