Spending Review: Social Sector Edition

Need to know what the Spending Review and Budget means for your charity? Join us for next-day analysis, designed for the social sector.

With a far-reaching Spending Review on the horizon, the Chancellor is facing big decisions about how to navigate the recovery from Covid while keeping finances under control. The decisions he makes about public spending will have consequences both for social sector organisations directly and for the people that it serves. The latest OBR figures will also be released, providing the official expectations of the economic outlook in the year ahead. And we may even get a peek at the government’s plans for levelling up.

Chaired by writer and broadcaster Nicola Walton, and drawn from the world of policy, finance, and from the charity sector, our expert panel consists of:

Sian Williams, Director of External Policy at Toynbee Hall
Richard Sagar, Policy Manager at Charity Finance Group
Matt Whittaker, CEO at Pro Bono Economics

This live event from Pro Bono Economics will contain plenty of opportunities for the audience to ask their questions of our expert panel.

Booking for this event has now closed.
