CHARITY SECTOR TO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM BHAYANI HR & EMPLOYMENT LAW

A Sheffield law firm has launched a new service to help support the charity sector recovery from several years of challenging operating conditions.

The pandemic and the cost of living crisis has led to some charities struggling with staff retention and so Bhayani HR & Employment Law has appointed Charlotte Swinhoe as its charity engagement partner to work closely with charity leaders.

Charlotte said: “It has been a difficult few years for charities, particularly with regards to employment issues. Recent figures suggest around 46 per cent of staff are due to leave their current roles with a charity.

“This makes operating a charity for its leaders extremely challenging and diverts attention away from their primary objective of raising money for their specific cause. My role will be to help guide leaders through areas we’re experts in and allow them to concentrate on the equally difficult task of fundraising.”

One of Charlotte’s first initiatives is to host a Charity Leaders Forum which will provide an opportunity for leaders to gain advice and information from employment, HR and Recruitment professionals, as well as a chance to share experiences with peers in the charity sector.

The first forum, on Tuesday May 9 at Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham, will focus on Equality, Diversity and Unconscious Bias – with an overview of the Equality Act 2010 legislation and best practice tips to prevent discrimination and how to ensure that Equality and Diversity is embedded within a charity.
