Leading corporate law firm Muckle LLP is recruiting experts to feature in its new podcast series, Charity Matters, dedicated to exploring the most talked about topics within the charity sector.
The podcast series, presented by Muckle LLP's specialist lawyers, delves into crucial topics and current affairs relevant to the charity sector, covering everything from financial challenges to cryptocurrency donations and sustainability.
In each episode, Muckle's legal experts will discuss important issues with guests who have first-hand experience in the topics under discussion.
The first episode features Samantha Pritchard, Partner in Muckle LLP's Charities Team, Senior Associate Alison Jones and Charlotte Campbell, Director of Fundraising and Operations at the Children's Heart Unit Fund (Chuf).
Chuf is a North East-based charity that supports children and babies diagnosed with heart conditions and was one of the first UK charities to accept cryptocurrency donations.
In the episode, Charlotte talks about the charity's involvement with cryptocurrencies and details the process of accepting crypto donations and the risks that come with them. Charlotte also highlights the benefits of cultivating a diversified income stream and its role in the charity's current growth and success.
Chuf works closely with The Giving Block, a US-based non-profit online platform that allows the charity to convert cryptocurrency donations into traditional currency.
Samantha Pritchard said: “Our conversation with Charlotte was incredibly insightful and provided useful insight into what charities should think about if they are considering accepting crypto donations, as well as how to formulate broader fundraising strategies to raise vital funds for their cause. .
“The main goal of our new Charity Matters podcast is to hear from guests who have direct experience of current issues and add legal and governance knowledge to the topics under discussion. “Podcasting is a great way to engage with our audience and share our expertise more widely.”
Charlotte said: “Huge thanks to Samantha and Alison for inviting me on the podcast to talk about Chuf's experience with cryptocurrency donations.
“We have been accepting cryptocurrency donations for over six years and it is becoming an increasing area of focus for charities across the UK.
“Despite being a small charity, we pride ourselves on our forward-thinking approach and our resilience in the world of cryptocurrencies.
“Hopefully this discussion will be beneficial to other charities considering crypto donations and different fundraising avenues.”
Episodes of the Charity Matters podcast will be released every two months. The first episode is now available to listen to below.
