Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) day conference, 15 May 2013
Dr Beth Breeze and Dr Eddy Hogg, Centre for Philanthropy, present a paper at this event exploring the suggestion that philanthropy often simply results in the recycling of resources within socio-economic groups. Through a short survey of charity chief executives and case studies of three UK charities and donors, the socio-economic characteristics of clients and donors is examined. Do donors support charities which help ‘people like them’ or are donors willing to help people with very different life experiences?
The full programme of speakers and subjects can be found on the VSSN website.
