71: We need to talk about cyber breaches

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2022/01/18

Cyber attacks happen – and charities are not immune. Around a quarter of charities in the UK were affected by a cyber attack in 2020, including half of large charities. Yet nobody seems to be talking about them. Part of the reason these attacks succeed is a lack of awareness in their methods and how to defend against them. Cyber security experts Symantec estimate that there are 135 million phishing attacks attempted every day alone, relying on relevance (usually something being talked about on

70: How to put on a successful fundraiser

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/12/21

Successful fundraisers tend to rely on two core elements: laughter and tears. If you make people cackle, if you make them chuckle, then they’ll reach to their wallets. If you make people cry, if you draw sympathy, if you conjure an emotive reaction, people will almost certainly give you money. In today’s podcast, we are talking about fundraising ideas. We will discuss, among many other things, what makes a good virtual fundraiser and what makes a good physical fundraiser. We will talk about the

69: How to embrace change in your charity

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/12/07

The pandemic may not be the only source of change in the charity sector but it certainly has accelerated the pace. Virtually overnight, charities moved their work home, adapted how they delivered their services, and started fundraising online. It’s a lot but we embraced it – and with 2022 on the horizon, we need to get ready to embrace even more. In this podcast, we’re joined by Sarah Cousins, Head of Organisational Change at the British Heart Foundation, Greg Edwards, Head of Development at Open

‘Tis the most obvious time of the year. And we are going to do the most obvious podcast, based on the one Charles Dickens book that isn’t 900 pages. We are going to make egg-nog, drink in the office, and use our expertise to tell you about the past, present, and future of fundraising. The past will cover the joys and authenticity of in-person fundraising, the immediacy and the emotive connection, but the mistakes of ignoring the digital. The present will future on the effects of COVID-19, the

67: The charity perspective on cyber security

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/11/09

To paraphrase the Spice Girls, cyber security never ends. With new threats surfacing every day – one every 19 seconds, according to some calculations – charities in particular are facing an uphill battle when it comes to protecting themselves against them. But we know that we’re trying. The recent NCSC survey showed us that the overwhelming majority of charities understand the importance of cyber security, but lack time and resource to fully dedicate to it. But this is just one of the many

66: Cyber security horror stories

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/10/26

In cyber space, no one can hear you scream. That’s a touch excessive, but we have your attention. Cyber attacks are often treated like scary stories, something we imagine will never happen to us, something that we know are true but sometimes treat as though they are phantoms. For the last few years, Charity Digital have been talking openly and honestly about cyber security. We’ve been inviting others across the sector to talk about stories, too, attempting to undermine the stigma that seems to

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/10/19

Charities have become an increasingly popular target for cyber criminals in recent years, due to the sensitive data they look after and the limited resources they have to protect themselves. Although most organisations will have a cyber security strategy or team in place, the unfortunate reality is charities are particularly vulnerable to disruptive attacks such as phishing, malware, and denial-of-service (DOS) attacks. In this bonus podcast, listen to a recording from Etienne Greeff,

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/10/12

It has never been more important to stay in control of IT, and arguably, it has never been more difficult. Cyber threats are on the rise, remote working is becoming the norm, and everything we work on is kept in a cloud. Yet these are just a few of the challenge facing charity IT services in 2021. Managing online events, keeping data safe, and employee retention and recruitment are all major IT concerns for the charity sector. Today’s podcast will look at these issues, and more, and show us how

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/09/28

Hybrid working has been hyped by employers and employees, with many charities adopting the working model post-COVID-19. But, as we return to the office for a few days a week, many of us are noticing some small and not so small issues. Lack of equipment, the complexities of social distancing, the sound of several Zoom calls in the background, half-virtual meetings, scheduling issues, and so on. We know such problems from experience. We at Charity Digital are adapting to the challenge of hybrid and

2021/09/14

Virgin Money has announced the closure of Virgin Money Giving (VGM). The announcement follows a strategic review of the fundraising platform following the end of its partnership with the London Marathon. The closure is massive news for the UK charity sector, as it raises important questions about the viability of donation platforms, the viability of older models, and the future of fundraising. Today’s podcast explores the future of fundraising considering VGM’s closure. The podcast will discuss,

61: How to choose the right CRM system

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/08/31

Choosing the right CRM can be difficult. Most charities undertake a major software review less than every five years, making it a daunting project requiring a lot of big decision-making. With so many options available, all wrapped up in hefty jargon and acronyms galore, charities often struggle to pick the CRM that best suits them. But worry not. We are here to help.

Charity Digital has been hosting a podcast for more than two years. We’ve learned a lot of important information in that time. We’ve mostly learnt what not to do. For today’s podcast, Nick Wyatt is joined by Lynsey Sweales, CEO at SocialB, Bex Rae Evans, host of the Tech for Good Live podcast, and Samuel Davies, producer and chair of the Charity Chat podcast. We come together to reflect on our shortcomings and discuss how we might do things differently a second time around. The conversation will

Charity Digital Podcast ·

2021/08/03

Over the past year, charities in the UK and across the world have understandably focussed on immediate solutions, finding short-term fixes to short-term problems. But the emphasis on the short-term means that charities have often overlooked, neglected, or simply ignored elements of charity work that promote sustainability. That is particularly true when it comes to financial management - and that's a problem. Today’s podcast aims to help. Host Ioan Marc Jones is joined by Braam du Plooy, Finance

2021/07/20

The charity sector is experiencing burnout. Many of us are feeling fed-up with the persistence of COVID-19. We are frustrated by the permanence of transition, the promise of the so-called new normal that never arrives. We are struggling to find enthusiasm amid the ever-growing list of compliance and logistic demands, all stemming from constant change. Simply put, the UK charity sector is feeling a little tired. Today’s podcast addresses burnout that is felt across the country – and particularly

Now, we’re releasing some of these as podcasts for you to listen to any time!

In March 2020, we held our annual #BeMoreDigital Conference virtually. Now, we're bringing you some of the best sessions as podcast episodes for you to enjoy! The Data Protection Act of 2018, commonly known as GDPR, has now been in place for nearly three years. Most organisations will have seen their working environment has changed drastically since GDPR was first enforced.

2021/06/08

Charities Against Hate (CAH) recently released 16 recommendations for social media companies to tackle online abuse. The recommendations arrive as the government aims to introduce the Online Safety Bill. The Bill will establish more regulation for social media platforms, but CAH are concerned the Bill may not do enough to protect the most vulnerable. Today’s podcast will take a look at what charities can do to tackle online hate. We will discuss, among other things, short-term actions charities

2021/05/25

Although life is returning (somewhat) to normal, our working practices are still a grey area. Some charities continue to work from home full-time. Others are embracing the office once again. Many are adopting a combination of the two. This week, we discuss findings from Blackbaud's ‘Future of Work’ report and what these mean for the charity office landscape. Among other things, our speakers chat about our changing expectations of the office and how these will impact charity leadership,

2021/04/27

Most of us have had an argument over which is better: Zoom or Teams. It’s an argument that has probably taken place over Zoom or Teams. And it’s an important topic, as we spend an increasing amount of our time on those two platforms, whether for quick catch-ups, team stand-ups, or to host webinars. We want to bring that argument to our audience. We want to settle the debate. The guests on today’s podcast have been carefully selected because they have a dog in this fight.
