Understanding the role of voluntary
action in Greater Manchester

Good afternoon,

We are excited to invite you to the latest in our Academic Perspectives Lecture series‘The Good Glow: Making Use of the Hidden Power of Charity’, presented by Jon Dean, Associate Professor in Politics and Sociology at Sheffield Hallam University.

When: Thursday 2nd December, 4pm – 5pm
Where: Online (Zoom)

‘Doing something for charity’ is near-universally seen as a good thing. This talk will argue that charitable people and acts are imbued with a certain symbolic power or credit – 'the good glow'.

From politicians and tax dodgers laundering their reputations through their giving, to charities avoiding awkward questions because they are doing important work, the good glow, is an always present but often unsaid social power behind our charitable acts.

But in a more cynical world, how much can the sector rely on this automatic goodwill anymore, and what are the practical implications of this for local charities’ own efforts in fundraising and volunteer involvement?
