We often talk about the power of giving. But what if the way we give is part of the problem?

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Niki Banks, co-founder of One World Together, to explore a bold challenge to the traditional charity model, and why ensuring that more of your money helps the people and projects you want it to, may mean giving differently.

From funding flows to frontline impact, this is a conversation that might just change how you think about donations.

• The hidden complexity behind big charity funding models
• Why small, community-led organisations can outperform larger charities
