  • Introduction

    From credit crunch and recession to capitalising on the green shoots of recovery, the third sector – which comprises charities, voluntary groups and social enterprises – has faced some tough business challenges in recent months. With a general election on the horizon and the uncertainties of what a new government might bring, it's essential that managers and trustees know that their organisations are fit for purpose, effective and competitive.
    Over the coming months, this microsite - sponsored by KnowHow Nonprofit, a project from Cass Business School's Centre of Charity Effectiveness - will identify solutions to some of the key challenges facing the third sector. It will combine advice from this online resource with the first-hand experiences of practitioners gathered through our reader polls and podcasts featuring sector experts. We hope that you will share your views and help the sector to build its expertise
