How charities enhance democracy
Problem Solving and Innovation
Charities focus on matters that are neither profitable for business nor effectively addressed by government initiatives.
Charities are habitually under resourced, and are therefore required to be innovative.
People who are engaged in the charitable sector are able to gain a deep understanding of the issues they are concerned with, and the communities effected. They are therefore in a good position to identify problems and propose solutions.
Charities are often the heralds of change and the font of renewal.
