The merits of a corporate advisory board

Third Sector Podcast

Lucinda Rouse and Dami Adewale are joined by Tamsyn Hanrahan, director of partnerships and philanthropy at Save the Children UK, and Beth Knight, social sustainability director at Lloyds Banking Group and chair of Save the Children UK’s corporate advisory board.

Tamsyn explains why Save the Children UK decided a corporate advisory board would be of benefit to the charity, and how it went about forming one a year ago, including a rigorous recruitment process for senior executives.

She describes the merits of the board in providing a critical but friendly voice and helping the charity sharpen its pitches to potential new partners.

Beth talks about the board’s support to Save the Children UK’s operations, including its use of new technology, and how it has helped bridge the cultural divide between the business and charity worlds.
