A panel of experts will next week discuss the future of charitable giving in the
wake of the response to the Asian tsunami disaster appeals at the beginning of this
year.

Over 200 leading figures from the charity, media and financial sectors have been
invited to discuss the future of charitable giving at an evening event on 10 March
2005 at The Royal Society of Arts, London.

Charities Aid Foundation’s Chief Executive, Stephen Ainger, will be one of the panel
members. He will be outlining the picture of charitable giving in the UK, as well
as discussing whether charities not connected to the tsunami appeals have suffered
a drought in donations since the disaster and how the sector can create a sustainable
culture of giving.

He will be joined on the panel by Chief Executive of the Disasters Emergency Committee(
DEC), Brendan Gormley, Chief Executive of the Red Cross, Sir Nicholas Young, Chair
of Chime Communications, Lord Bell of Belgravia, and journalist and author, Lord
Deedes.

‘Charitable Giving Post Tsunami’ is organised by The Beacon Fellowship, which aims
to raise the profile of giving in the UK while acknowledging and rewarding exceptional
philanthropic acts by individuals.
