22: This government has to be shamed into re-engaging – Stephen Hale, Chief Executive, Refugee Action

Good Charity Bad Charity

The GCBC team are joined by Stephen Hale, Chief Executive of Refugee Action - one of the UK’s leading charities supporting refugees and asylum seekers. Stephen explains how he’s dealing with a situation in which the government won’t pick up the phone to refugee charities; why the charity sector needs to tell a better story about itself; and how Covid-19 has provided a unique opportunity for collaboration with other refugee charities.

Good Charity, Bad Charity is presented by Keith Davis, Camilla McGibbon and David Prest. It is produced by Dan Hardoon at Whistledown and supported by the Centre for Charity Effectiveness. Refugee Action’s advice and support hub for refugee and asylum organisations is https://www.ragp.org.uk/
