Responsible decision making

Rob Williamson, chief executive of the Community Foundation serving Northumberland and Tyne & Wear, and James Garbutt, investment director at Rathbones, join Samantha Pritchard and Alison Jones of Muckle LLP to discuss how the Community Foundation engages with its stakeholders and collaborates with others to develop robust and responsible policies that underpin its approach to accepting donors' gifts, investing wisely and distributing grants responsibly. 

James' support of the Community Foundation and its approach to responsible investment opens up a conversation around what charity leaders can think about to ensure their key policies reflect their stakeholders’ range of perspectives, achieve buy-in across the board, staff and communities a charity serves and can evolve as the context a charity operates in changes.
