The National Research Centre on Charitable Giving and Philanthropy is recruiting a chair to oversee its future strategy. The chair needs to be someone who combines the respect of the academic research community and the voluntary and community sector.
The opening of the research centre has been postponed by six months after a series of regional consultation events. Diana Leat, Director of Creative Philanthropy at the Carnegie Trust, who is coordinating the launch, said: "It would have been quite wrong and foolish to carry on with our old timetable without taking into account the results of the consultation meetings." The discussions focused on simplifying the governance structure of the centre.
The idea for a research centre stemmed from a recommendation in the Government's A Generous Society report published in November 2005. Its £2m funding comes from the Office of the Third Sector, Carnegie UK Trust, Scottish Executive and Economic and Social Research Fund.
