Information overload is a governance risk

Charity trustees are expected to stay across a rapidly changing landscape — but nobody has time to read everything.

Too many sources

Regulators, funders, think tanks, news outlets — the signal is buried in noise across dozens of websites and newsletters.

Not board-ready

Most intelligence is written for policy specialists, not busy volunteers who need clarity in minutes, not hours.

Hard to prioritise

Without a filter, everything feels urgent — and the truly important developments get lost in the flow.

One briefing, every week

We read everything so you don't have to. Here's what you get every Friday morning.

📋
