In the private sector, the word “merger” often carries a heavy subtext – restructuring, cost-cutting, or perhaps a bit of Succession-style drama. It is a fairly alien notion to charities, or it has been until recently.

Euromonitor’s Community Week is a testament to their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, providing their colleagues with valuable opportunities to learn about and support the organisations they champion.
