Corporate Policy
Charity Chat Podcast is committed to sound ethical collaboration with commercial and corporate partners in the interest of charity workers, volunteers, trustees and supporters. We receive support from a range of companies including gifts in kind and sponsorship, as part of a fundraising strategy.
Charity Chat Podcast is a volunteer organisation, offering learning tools and enabling conversation through social media, enewsletters and fortnightly podcasts.
We recognise the importance of working with companies and supporters of the organisation, to best meet the needs of our listeners and volunteer contributors, and to cover the operational needs of Charity Chat Podcast. However, the views of the organisation are always reached independently and are based on informed and balanced evidence, ensuring that these companies do not impact or influence our strategic direction.
This policy provides clear guidance about how Charity Chat Podcast works with sponsors and companies.
