Changes at CUK HQ

[PhilipBenstead007]

I understand there have been some redundancies at Cycling UK including Charry Allen.
In addition, Roger Geffen has left CUK HQ staff.
I understand from this month's CYCLE magazine page 7 that there are changes afoot.
I see there are many CUK jobs being advertised https://www.cyclinguk.org/cycling-uk-jobs

What conclusion can we draw?
PS. Given that Cycling UK has become a dynamic organisation, I wondered what is in store for CUK in the coming years.

With that in mind, I see that Sarah Mitchell the CEO of CUK has written a book on charities and change management I would like to know what her mindset is,

Unfortunately, the book is not cheap.
Does anyone have access to a cheap version of this book or has read it?

Britain faces challenges that weren’t imaginable thirty years ago, challenges which charities, rooted as they are in community action and the public good, should be ideally suited to tackle. But the charity sector seems paralysed. Even after a decade of cuts and immense social and environmental disruption charities are still fighting hard to maintain business as usual. To develop new responses to our changing world the charity sector desperately needs to reinvent itself, radically re-engaging with communities and developing powerful and scalable responses to the challenges facing the UK in the coming decades. What are the ties that bind charities, rendering them unable to re-invent themselves and to re-imagine their services, even when they face existential crises?

This book explores how charities in the UK really operate, as seen through the eyes of people who work in and with charities, and investigates what holds charities back from change. It demonstrates what we can learn from entrepreneurship and market disruption in the private sector, and points to ways in which the sector can re-imagine what it does and how it does this. It presents a new ambition for charities to break free of their history and imagine a new role for themselves in shaping the future for our society.

Presenting a new ambition for charities to imagine a new role for themselves in shaping the future for our society, this volume is especially valuable for academics and professionals in the fields of charity and non-profit management, organisational change, and strategic management.

Not a charity that I would donate to.

I don't bother with them any more. I certainly would not want to work for them with the derisory salaries they offer.

I saw those jobs, nothing for me as I'd suspect they'd outsource any IT work.

What does it mean? Not sure, I didn't read too much into the P7 article this month though I did enjoy P40s talk about what CUK I doing to get the political parties to support cycling. Don't know about the book sorry.

This month's Weekender ride looks like one I'll try, a 90 miler around North York Moors National Park. Theres also a review of entry level eBikes inc a folder called Estarli E20.7 which looks interesting.

Add in crap pension and holidays. No thanks. BC are as bad. I went for the Chief Finance person role years ago, benefits were rubbish, got to second interview, but pulled out and went to the Uni.

If you are ever looking for a book in the UK, check the British Library catalogue then ask your local library to get it for you on loan.

However BL has had a cyber incident so they don't actually know if they have this book or not. Someone at BL would have to go and check the shelves for you. Or if you are ever near St Pancras, pop in and check the shelves yourself. BL has one of the more iconic buildings in London and a great cafe.

The other great cafe in London is in the bowels (ho ho) of the Supreme Court. Another must visit when in London.
