Dr Beth Breeze addressed a meeting in the House of Commons on the 8th June. Beth spoke at a meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Civil Society, which is a group consisting of MPs, peers and people from the charity sector who meet regularly to discuss issues of common interest. The meeting focused on incentivising giving and the respective roles of the state and the sector. Beth told the MPs that, despite giving being a voluntary activity, there is much that politicians can do to encourage public generosity. This includes creating bigger and better tax breaks for donors, funding groups that promote philanthropy, passing robust regulation to increase trust and confidence in charities and enhancing the visibility of philanthropists by celebrating those who make significant contributions.
