The report identifies key areas in which improvements need to be made governance and senior leadership policies procedures and practice within organisations the regulatory framework and joint action across the charity sector For example it says all charity boards should nominate a trustee and senior leader responsible for leading on staff wellbeing and it calls for charities to have clearer guidance on how to respond to concerns when they are raised The report also stresses the importance of adopting both robust policies and procedures to address identified instances of bullying and a preventative approach that centres on workplace wellbeing and the creation of healthier happier (and therefore more productive) workforces

Aberdeen Man Takes on Mammoth 500-Mile Cycle Tour of Scotland for Local Charity and Raises Over pound7500

Local Aberdeen man Steve Rae has taken on a mammoth 500-mile cycle tour of Scotland for local childrenrsquos charity Befriend a Child with the help and support of his friends and co-workers at Handelsbanken

Steve took on the 5-day cycling challenge beginning in Aberdeen on the 26th of May From there Steve cycled to Inverness Perth Stirling Glasgow Edinburgh Dunfermline and Dundee before returning to Aberdeen on the 30th of May

lsquoIt has been something the team and I at Handelsbanken have been thinking about for a couple of years now to go on a Scotland wide tour of the Handelsbanken branches for charityrsquo says Corporate Banking Manager Steve

After supporting a number of local charities throughout the years at charity dinners and balls the team felt it was time to finally embark on a bigger challenge and it all came down to choosing the right charity

Steve says lsquoIt was about finding the right charity that resonated with us all that really matteredrsquo

lsquoBefriend a Child have always been a charity we at Handelsbanken have been aware of and supported We all have children grandchildren nieces and nephews in our lives who have been very fortunate to have happy childhood experiences so when we heard there were over 8000 children in the North-East alone who arenrsquot so fortunate the team knew we had to do something to helprsquo ndash says Steve

As well as aiming to raise awareness for the Befriend a Child across Scotland with his branded cycling kit Steve set out to raise pound5000 for the charity with the help and support of friends family clients and co-workers at Handelsbanken

lsquoHandelsbanken have been so supportive of this cause They have sponsored my cycling kit accommodation and meals for the challenge which has been invaluable to ensuring all of the money raised goes to Befriend a Childrsquo says Steve

A keen cyclist since 2014 Steve has put in the miles over the last 3-4 months to build up the stamina and endurance to complete the 500-mile challenge lsquoI think the most challenging part was pacing myself and making sure I planned enough stops to refuel luckily my colleague Neil was close by during the journey to make sure I stayed healthy and safersquo

Steve completed his cycle and returned to the Handelsbanken base in Aberdeen where he was greeted by his colleagues and the team from Befriend a Child Steve has now raised over pound783966 as part of his challenge which is a fantastic achievement

Just 25 of Charity Professionals work for Charities that are lsquoFit for Futurersquo

Just 25 per cent of charity professionals think their charityrsquos organisational structure is ldquofit for the futurerdquo a new report has revealed

The report The Future Charity which was compiled by three consultancies Kivo Manifesto and massive found three-quarters (74 per cent) of those surveyed think their organisationrsquos ldquostructures and processes inhibit our ability to changerdquo

More than half (53 per cent) blamed these failings on a poor organisational culture while 47 per cent blamed an inability to recruit people with the skills needed to meet these challenges

The report recommended steps charities can take to begin to rectify these problems These include seeking ldquoto attract experienced agents of change from a wider variety of backgroundsrdquo to serve in leadership roles building appetite for risk at board level ringfencing resources for innovation enabling more flexible working and investing in higher pay for key individuals improving data-gathering and performance impact measurement and improving collaboration both within the sector and with external partners including commercial organisations

The authors surveyed 105 individuals working in the sector three-quarters of whom worked for charities with annual incomes of pound10 million or more with more than half working for organisations with annual incomes of more than pound50 million A majority (58 per cent) were managers while 74 per cent worked in either fundraising or digital roles

UKrsquos Unpaid Carers Seven Times Lonelier than General Public

Unpaid carers looking after loved ones living with an illness disability mental health condition or as they grow older are seven times more likely to be lonely compared with the general public new figures suggest

Not having enough time or money to participate in leisure activities as well as the stigma of being a carer means one in three unpaid carers (35 per cent) are always or often lonely compared with just one in twenty (five per cent) of the general population

Research released for Carers Week 2019 (10th ndash 16th June) also reveals unpaid carers feel what they do in life is significantly less worthwhile compared with the rest of the population with those struggling financially over a third less likely to feel that the things they do in their life are worthwhile This is despite the vital support carers provide their loved ones and their enormous contribution to society

The extent of loneliness and poor wellbeing amongst carers is revealed as new estimates suggest there could be far more people caring unpaid than previously thought

There are a potential 88 million adult carers in the UK up from 63 million estimated in the 2011 census ndash a huge increase of a third

With one in six adults now taking on a caring role and at a heightened risk of loneliness ndash referred to as one of the greatest public health challenges of our time - seven national charities have come together to highlight the urgent need to tackle loneliness and improve wellbeing among the UKrsquos carers who all too often put their needs second
