Case Study
PR crisis following misappropriation of charity funds
A reporter from a local newspaper approached the charity for comments following a tip-off that a trustee had misappropriated in excess of £80,000 over a three-year period. The PR crisis management team assisted the charity in preparing a statement to the press as well as a strategic plan to address the reputational damage.
