Mind the Giving Gaps: how to improve the power of UK philanthropy

Chaired by Anoushka Kenley, this Law Family Commission on Civil Society event will launch the findings of a new set of reports on the current state of giving in the UK. We will reflect on the role of private philanthropy in serving the public good, and explore opportunities for policy makers, the social sector, advisors and philanthropists, to grow UK philanthropy and achieve even more.
