AI is no longer a future concept – it is transforming HR today. Employees use it to strengthen grievances or bolster Employment Tribunal claims. Trade unions rely on it to support members, target recruits and develop negotiation strategies. HR teams leverage it to streamline recruitment, transcribe meetings, or summarise complaints.

Charities, by their nature, are there to help people who are navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives. Which means charity content needs to speak to an audience that’s upset, stressed, anxious, and sometimes in emotional turmoil.

Giving you a practical insight to help you plan and deliver digital fundraising successfully for your organisation.

Even if your organisation doesn't have an official policy or subscription to an AI service, employees, volunteers and service users are using it: sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. That’s why it's more important than ever that every VSCE organisation has a robust ethical position on AI, not just a tick box policy.
