NCVO researcher lambasts lack of sophisticated analysis of charity register - Charity governance and trustee news - News - Civil Society

NCVO researcher lambasts lack of sophisticated analysis of charity register - Charity governance and trustee news - News - Civil Society: NCVO's David Kane has urged the public to "be careful" when looking at raw data of charity registrations, in response to stories by the Daily Mail and the Mirror that last week blamed a Big Society failure for the closure of almost 7,400 charities.

Kane, a research officer at the umbrella body and co-author of the UK Civil Society Almanac, said that analysis of the Charity Commission register is not sophisticated enough and that in a wider context "we lack the tools and data to fully understand what is happening to the voluntary sector in this difficult period".
