LET'S TALK, 17th and 18th november

Let's talk about philanthropy and the art of giving. From the high street "chuggers" extracting your cash for a worthy cause to the mighty financial muscle of the foundations (some examples listed below), what we give can certainly have an effect on world events and individual lives. Some individuals can have a disproportionate impact for good or for bad (eg http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15053431). Traditionally, Christmas is a time for giving, however, perhaps in hard times, attitudes are changing.
