BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours is to broadcast a programme this morning (Friday 6 October) investigating charity fundraising practices. Called Selling Barbara and produced by Lydia Thomas, the 28-minute programme follows 90-year-old charity supporter Barbara Smith as she investigates which charities have traded her data and why they have done so. She talks to Smile Train, which has admitted to sharing her data with other charities and explains to her why they traded her name and address in the past, and is invited to Oxfam’s offices by Chief Executive Mark Goldring to see the work the charity does and hears how the media coverage about charities in the wake of the Olive Cooke case resulted in Oxfam examining how it fundraises. Interviewed on the programme are: Paula Sussex, previously CEO of the Charity Commission; Chair of the Fundraising Regulator Michael Grade; Mark Goldring, Chief Executive of Oxfam; Susu Stinton, Trustee, Smile Train, and Mark Roy, Chairman of REaD Group. The programme airs today at 11am.
