Background, from the Guardian site
In a new report, Deloitte identified key strategic areas for charities to focus on as they fight for survival against deepening economic austerity and increased demand on their services.
In this week's Q&A we will discuss how charities can change the way they do business to emerge much stronger. We will consider:
• How charities can best utilise their donor and volunteer base
• How to form effective strategic partnerships
• How to engage with donors and corporate partners
Leave your questions in the comments section on the site, and come back to join the discussion from 1pm to 3pm on Tuesday 23 August.
