In episode 74, Rhodri Davies talks to Cassie Robinson, Senior Head of the UK Portfolio at the National Lottery Community Fund, and a prominent writer and thinker about the intersection of tech, civil society and philanthropy. In a wide-ranging conversation against the backdrop of the covid-19 pandemic, Rhodri and Cassie discuss:
- How is the Covid 19 pandemic affecting National Lottery Community Fund and the organisations it works with?
- What has happened so far that should give us hope?
- Will the short-term, enforced digital transformation that many civil society organisations (CSOs) are undergoing right now result in longer term changes within the sector? And what support may be required for that to happen?
- What new challenges and unintended consequences might arise as a huge number of CSOs become reliant on platforms and digital tools?
