This only happens if there is a real commitment to ensure the values at the core of most charities are embedded in our structures, processes and relationships. When we choose to call out misconduct in our organisations and our communities, when we choose to challenge bullying and discrimination, we are not just making a difference, we are enacting the fundamental values of charity.
