Overview

What if the greatest threat to your favourite charity isn't external-but internal? In The Trust Trap, Antony David Davies-historian, former charity manager, and FRSA Fellow-breaks the silence on a hidden crisis inside the third sector. Drawing on over two decades of hands-on experience in UK charities, Davies offers a courageous exposé of what can go wrong behind closed doors: insider theft, failing governance, volunteer misconduct, and a culture of fear that too often prioritises reputation over reform. This is not a book of finger-pointing. It is a roadmap. Through anonymous case studies, ethical reflections, and practical reform strategies, The Trust Trap reveals: Why even the most well-meaning organisations fall short How informal relationships can override accountability What happens to staff who speak up-and why so few do How trustees lose control without even realising it Simple reforms every charity can adopt to rebuild trust From the misuse of donations to the hidden risks of ""trusted volunteers,"" this book explains how good charities lose their way-and how, with the right structures and courage, they can be saved. For trustees, volunteers, funders, donors, and citizens who care about integrity in the charity sector-this book is essential reading.
