What’s in March’s issue of Governance & Leadership?

17 Mar 2025 In-depth

Civil Society Media

The cover theme is trusts and foundations, and what various grantmakers are doing to enhance their support for charities and civil society. As well as a profile of 360Giving and its different initiatives, we’ve got case studies from City Bridge Foundation and the Smallwood Trust.

Then, in Strategy & Operations, there’s an article about how legacy giving is growing in popularity and how charities need to get ready for this fundraising boom, and in People & Culture we examine how DEBRA UK has stewarded its celebrity supporter Graeme Souness, and what other charities can learn from this relationship.

The Charity Commission, in its regular column, offers advice on how boards should prepare for a potential media crisis, while in Policy & Public Affairs, editor Tania Mason reflects on the health secretary’s outburst about the Royal Osteoporosis Society and how this might impact the forthcoming Civil Society Covenant.

Last but not least, we have a brand new back-page columnist, Penny Wilson, who shares her thoughts on the ego-hazards that can trip up trustees and derail their attempts at good governance.

We hope you enjoy reading the magazine.
