Third Sector’s podcast documentaries explore some of the big issues facing the charity sector and the people who work within it.
What happens when charities struggle to reckon with the regulatory and governance structures that charity law requires them to follow? And when the regulator’s decisions are called into question, what next?
Hosted by Lucinda Rouse, this three-part podcast documentary examines three charities where things went badly wrong. It questions whether their cases throw up any weaknesses in how the UK’s voluntary organisations are governed and regulated.
Featuring voices close to the action at Kids Company, the Captain Tom Foundation and Mermaids, along with legal experts and the head of the Charity Commission, the series asks what lessons the wider sector can take from each of these high-profile cases to ensure other charities avoid the same harmful pitfalls.
In a world where need is spiralling out of control and new, radical forces are shaping the landscape for doing good, can charity be the answer to the world’s social and environmental problems?
Lucinda Rouse presents The End of Charity, a new podcast series from the makers of Third Sector.
Guided by some of the leading voices of the philanthropy world, as well as radicals who believe the current model is on the brink of implosion, Lucinda asks: what are the flaws and contradictions baked into the ways charities work?
How has the sector’s problematic past shaped its present?
And who are the disruptors – from MrBeast to Extinction Rebellion – who could shake it up for good?

In May 2018, three climate activists called time on lukewarm campaigning over the climate crisis. They wanted a different and radical approach.
The plan: mass civil disobedience. The name: Extinction Rebellion.
And the first major act of the movement? Stage an occupation – of the Greenpeace offices in London.
Why is it that charities are so often perceived to be “the opposite of disruptive?” Experts including The Wildlife Trusts’ chief executive, Craig Bennett, and the domestic violence campaigner Janey Starling outline the legislative and political challenges that defang charities’ ability to campaign.
Lucinda also speaks to Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, and the Trussell Trust’s Emma Revie about the tussle encountered by charities seeking to both deliver services and advocate for change. With commentary from the philanthropy expert Rhodri Davies.
