Think tank links with bank to provide 'key fiscal moments' analysis

Civil society focused think tank PBE has formed a partnership with CAF Bank to provide economic commentary for the charity sector “at key fiscal moments” such as UK government’s Budgets.

Its first Charities and the Economy briefing is to be published on 29 October after the Autumn Budget.

PBE says the multi-year partnership with CAF Bank will also develop economic models “to support charity planning and share analysis”.

Its interim co-CEO Jon Franklin said the link up aims to provide information and analysis to “help leaders understand what changes in the economy mean for their organisations and plan with greater confidence”.

CAF Bank chief executive Alison Taylor added: “CAF Bank’s research partnership with PBE comes at a crucial time for the charity sector as organisations face rising demand, increased costs, and falling incomes.”
