The coronavirus hit to charity fundraising

World Business Report - Podcast tekijän mukaan BBC World Service

We find out how the coronavirus pandemic has affected charity fundraising. Rita Chadha is chief executive of the Small Charities Coalition in the UK, representing 14,000 institutions, and explains how its members have been hit. And we find out more from Trudy Nickels, chief executive of healthcare charity the Brompton Foundation, Derek Needham, who manages the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, and Lorraine Kingsley, chief executive of Toilet Twinning, which aims to improve hygiene and sanitation in some of the world's poorest countries. Also in the programme, as lockdowns in some parts of the world begin to lift, we look at how the beleaguered retail sector will tempt customers back into stores. Catherine Shuttleworth, retail expert and co-founder of Savvy says it will be hard for the retail fashion industry to follow the same social distancing model as is being employed in supermarkets. And we get a view from France with Arnaud Vaissie, chairman of CCI France, the French chambers of commerce. Plus a few days after New Zealand lifted some of the strictest restrictions on business anywhere in the world, we have a report from the capital Wellington on how companies have started to adapt to new ways of working.
