- Economic | The big picture, a labour market in flux, government actions on spending/taxation, and new and shifting sources of income for charities.
- Social | Emerging inequalities and impact on charity service demand, changing public attitudes on social issues, the future of volunteering and participation, the role of charities in communities, and the future of work. Read more

- Environmental | Rise of political and public recognition, changing practices during the pandemic, the role of charities and civil society in climate change, charities and green levelling up, lessons from the pandemic and climate change, and the immediate needs of climate change mitigation.
- Legal | Progress of the charities bill, the legal impacts of covid-19, future legal reforms, and updates to governance guidance.
