So this landed in my inbox last night and feels as welcome as a bout of recurring Covid symptoms. It is quite something to on the one hand aim to place charities beyond politics and on the other hand blatantly politicise the appointment process for the charity commission. I obviously can’t (and have no intention to) speak for the whole sector, but in health it is really not possible or helpful to ‘just’ do a bit of ‘helping’ without ever straying into how things are actually organised.
