BUSINESS NEWS Stone King LLP and The House agency partnered to show how important millennials are in the future of the giving space. Tim Rutherford, Head of Charity and Social Enterprise at Stone King LLP and Steve Fuller, Creative Director at The House delivered key facts about this audience, including: • By 2020, millennials will represent more than half the workforce • Millennials are more likely to give than other generations • 84% of millennial employees gave to charity and 70% donated time (1HR+) Stone King’s Tim Rutherford said, “Stone King was delighted to participate with a number of key firms in the region to form the inaugural South West Charity Conference. We were particularly pleased to present alongside The House discussing how millennials can be engaged by the Charity and Social enterprise sector. “The South West Charity conference was enjoyed by a diverse mix of charities ranging in different causes, providing a perfect opportunity to engage and network with one another.” One of the key findings from the conference in the post event feedback was that more support was needed locally in terms of financial advice, fundraising, technology and donor engagement. Attendees voted for a 2020 event and The Business Exchange will now be looking at ways on building on this year’s conference to make 2020’s even better.
