Whats new:
On the 3rd of May we held the second event in The Philanthropy Programme, a five part educational series held in conjuntion with STEP. The half day Symposium was entitled Domestic giving: the starting point. Maximising current incentives and exploring new opportunities.
“This was an excellent event. It was good to hear the opinions of a special group of people, and it is fun to hear people talking succinctly and openly” Edward Hoare, C Hoare & Co.
“A good discussion that gave an understanding of current trends on areas that donors are interested in with regard to their giving. There was some intelligent commentary on the proposed cap relief on donations. Tom Hughes-Hallett was excellent as ever”
On the 18th April 2012 we held an event at Fairbairn Private Bank entitled Budget 2012: proposed cap on charitable tax reliefs. Read attendee testimonials.
