The Refugee Council says fewer asylum appeals are needed, but there must be 'legal' and 'judicial' oversight of decisions.

And: a lucky escape for those on board a hot air balloon which landed on a street in Bedford.

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "It was such a pleasure talking with Alf Cowan. In fact, our conversation went on so long we had to restart the Zoom because we ran out of time — I think we ended up talking for a couple of hours! Alf is a really thoughtful guy. After university — where he studied business — he unexpectedly found himself working in face-to-face fundraising, which was a real revelation for him at the time. From there he moved into the charity sector, working directly for charities on their face-to-face programs, before transitioning into more of a data and analytics focus. Today, Alf is Head of Charities at MediaLab, but he still draws heavily on his early face-to-face experience. He regularly visits frontline teams to stay connected to that perspective, and it really informs the campaigns he creates for clients. He's insightful, reflective, and a genuinely nice person to talk to. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation with Alf Cowan" You can learn more about our upcoming Fundraising Recruitment and Careers Conference happening on Thursday 20th November here If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to hit follow and enable notifications so you'll get notified to be first to hear of future podcast episodes.

Ukraine and Gaza are the two hot button spots of today's times, and they both pit America and some European leaders against each other. Will these cross-purposes lead America into war with Europe? An almost incomprehensible idea to contemplate, and that's why your host, Carole Lieberman, M.D., The Terrorist Therapist®, discusses it on today's podcast. The evidence of this is clear, with European leaders inviting themselves to the White House to “support” Zelensky in his meeting with President Trump. Similarly, some European leaders have already announced their intent to recognize ‘Palestine' as a state, contrary to America's position on this. First, we look at the war in Ukraine and how it emboldens terrorists and makes the threat of terrorism worse, from allowing them to learn from the drones and other weapons to teaching them combat skills they can bring home or to countries they want to attack, and more.  Next, we look at how the tsunami of Radical Islamist migrants has overtaken Europe, destroying its culture and economic stability, despite the original expectations that opening their doors to these migrants would be a good thing. It's a stark warning to America. Finally, we look at the shocking developments in the surreptitious arrival of so-called Palestinian ‘refugees' landing at airports throughout America, brought in by charities affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, and what will be done about it.

August marks Black Philanthropy Month, a vital initiative launched in 2011 to champion funding equity and uplift philanthropic efforts within communities of African descent. This focus is more critical than ever, as the percentage of funding directed towards Black charities has decreased by over 30% since the surge in giving that followed George Floyd's death. In Part One of this two-part series, we'll dive into the fundamentals of philanthropy from the perspective of non-profit leaders. We'll explore the "5 T's of philanthropy" and discuss effective funding strategies designed to build a sustainable organization. You'll also get an introduction to the Minnesota Black Collective Foundation.

If your organisation is stretched thin trying to chase every funding opportunity, or you've been told to “diversify your income” without any roadmap, this episode is for you.KEY TAKEAWAYIncome should fit your size, mission, and capacity; not just follow what others are doing.Trading income can offer freedom, but only if you know your breakeven point and have capacity to deliver.Individual donations require strong community relationships and admin systems to manage them well.Diversifying income doesn't mean doing more—it means doing what works for you and doing it well.BEST MOMENTS"Just because something brings in income doesn't mean it's worth it. If it's burning you out or pulling you off mission, it's not a fit.""You don't need five income streams to be sustainable; you need one or two that are working really well.""Don't fall into the trap of trying to be a venue manager when your real work is with people."ABOUT YOUR HOSTAishat operates her own bookkeeping and accounting services practice –BAnC Services – which focuses primarily on serving non-profits.

Journalist and researcher Charlotte Gill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a blistering exposé on government waste, academic absurdity, and the taxpayer-funded empire of ideological nonsense.Gill reveals how billions of pounds are being siphoned into bizarre research projects through UKRI and its academic arms—the AHRC and ESRC. From “gay pig masculinities” to “Green inclusion”. Gill has uncovered an astonishing archive of publicly funded work that seems more like parody than policy.We discuss how Britain's universities became captured by radical ideology under the guise of scholarship. Gill warns that without scrutiny, these institutions will keep draining public money into activism masquerading as research.All this— gay p*rn studies, postmodern pseudoscience, and the quiet bureaucracies turning academia into a taxpayer-funded circus…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:32 Discovery of “Woke Waste”20:54 The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 23:44 The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) 29:35 Charities and Taxpayer Funding 43:30 The Role of Hope Not Hate 1:02:04 The Impact of Taxpayer Funding on Public Policy 1:10:50 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.
