Strategy and fundraising consultancy Wootton George Consulting has published free
advice for charities on how to survive the recession.

The 19-page report is available at no charge to charities. It gives an update on
how charities are already being affected by recession and provides advice on strategies
for survival.

Author of the report Gill Wootton said: “As with businesses, it is likely that some
weaker charities and those that have not prepared for hard times may collapse as
a result of the recession.

“Those that survive will be ones that take a strategic approach, review their opportunities
and are prepared to adapt to changing times. Charities owe it to their beneficiaries
to review their plans to ensure they continue to prosper”.

The document covers a range of the key sources of income for charities, such as 
legacies, membership, trading, corporate, and big gift, with commentary on what 
steps charities are taking and can take.
