Also in the episode, Andy talks about Third Sector’s latest Charity Pay Study, which identifies and ranks the sector’s highest earners using data drawn from charities’ accounts.

    Definatly agree with the last guy here. Effective d2d fundraising is the BEST way to get money for charities. Ofcouese.a fundraisier should not force someone to join but rather in a resptful manner which still will yield good or even better results as people are more likely to give if you are respectful and "fun/encouraging". This first woman has obviously no idea what she is talking about.
